IQM Quantum Computers

Announcing our new technology milestones! We are proud to announce our latest technology achievement of two-qubit gates with a record fidelity of 99.9% and qubit relaxation time of T1= 0.964 +- 0.092 milliseconds and dephasing time of T2 echo 1.155 +- 0.188 milliseconds. Achieving high two-qubit gate fidelity is the most fundamental and hardest to achieve characteristic of a quantum processor, essential for generating entangled states between qubits and executing quantum algorithms. The coherence times, on the other hand, are among the key metrics for assessing the performance of a single qubit, as they indicate how long quantum information can be stored in a physical qubit.  These major results show that our fabrication technology has matured and is ready to support the next generation of our high-performance quantum processors. The significance of these results stems from the fact that only very few organisations have achieved comparable performance numbers before. The results were achieved through innovations in materials and fabrication technology and required top-notch performance across all components of the quantum computer, including QPU design, control optimisation, and system engineering.   “This achievement cements our tech leadership in the industry. Our quantum processor quality is world-class, and these results show that we have a good opportunity of going beyond that,” said Dr. Juha Hassel, our Vice President of Engineering.

Last week, IQM was honored to host German Minister of Science and Research Bettina Stark-Watzinger at our new Quantum Data Center in Munich.   The Minister had a firsthand look at our operational quantum computers, even viewing the heart of the system - the quantum processor. We showcased the groundbreaking work being done by our growing operations in Germany. Furthermore, by providing space for up to 12 quantum computers in our new data center, we demonstrated our readiness for the commercial adoption of quantum computing.    "I thank the Ministry for their continuous support and our team for their hard work. I'm proud of the strength of our technology, particularly the error correction concepts developed in Munich. I look forward to continuing our great collaboration across Europe," comments Dr. Jan Goetz, Co-CEO and Co-founder of IQM.   We also discussed our delivery and integration project of IQM’s quantum computer into a supercomputer at the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre in Munich with Prof. Dieter Kranzlmüller, highlighting the importance of continued support for quantum innovation.   This visit emphasizes the bright future for commercial quantum computing in Germany and beyond.   Find out more: https://lnkd.in/dRiJVG58 #QuantumComputing #Innovation #IQM Jan Goetz Mikko Välimäki Juha Vartiainen Dieter Kranzlmueller Markus Bendele, PhD Dr. Peter Eder

Our new paper on quantum error correction!   Quantum low-density parity-check (qLDPC) codes offer a promising route to scalable fault-tolerant quantum computing. To perform computations on the quantum information encoded in qLDPC codes, it is necessary to understand the structure of the logical operators and logical gates of these codes.   In this paper, we investigate certain types of qLDPC codes, namely bivariate bicycle codes, from a new angle. We use their symmetrical structure to gain insights into the logical operators and construct fold-transversal gates using this very special structure.    Read more here! https://lnkd.in/dtEwXzTh #IQM #QuantumComputing Vincent Steffan Jens Niklas Eberhardt Francisco Revson Fernandes Pereira Inés De Vega Juha Hassel Frank Deppe Martin Leib Fedor Šimkovic Mario Ponce-Martinez Pedro Parrado Rodríguez P.V.
