Thanks Francis Sideco and Blake Johnson for your insights in this very well written EETimes article.

IBM and Pasqal aim to work together to define the software integration architecture for a quantum-centric supercomputer that orchestrates computational workflows across multiple modalities of quantum computers and advanced classical compute clusters.

New changes as part of the IBM Quantum access plans. Expanding access to 100+-qubit systems to Open Plan users: "Open Plan users will receive up to 10 minutes per month of IBM Qiskit Runtime access to start running experiments on quantum systems with 100 qubits or more. After trying out our Open Plan systems, users who need more time can continue to run their code through our Pay-As-You-Go Plan, or or their institution can subscribe to our Premium Plan. Users can also apply for IBM Quantum Credits." #QuantumComputing #IBMQuantum #Qiskit

IBM Quantum recently released the #Qiskit 1.0 quantum programming model, from which we can explore the simple operation method of quantum computing. The following code is the most important part of the parameterized #Quantum #Circuit # Define a circuit with two parameters. circuit = QuantumCircuit(2) circuit.h(0) circuit.cx(0, 1) circuit.ry(Parameter("a"), 0) circuit.rz(Parameter("b"), 0) circuit.cx(0, 1) circuit.h(0) The two-qubit circuit defined in QuantumCircuit(2) consists of five operations applied sequentially to two qubits: Hadamard (h) on qubit 0: This puts the first qubit (qubit 0) in a superposition of both the |0> and |1> states. In simpler terms, it makes the qubit both 0 and 1 at the same time with a certain probability. Controlled-X (cx) on qubit 0 (control) and qubit 1 (target): This is a conditional operation. If qubit 0 is in the |1> state, it flips the state of qubit 1. If qubit 0 is in the |0> state, it has no effect on qubit 1. Due to qubit 0 being in a superposition after the Hadamard, this operation entangles the two qubits. Ry rotation on qubit 0: This applies a rotation around the Y axis of the Bloch sphere to qubit 0. The parameter "a" controls the amount of rotation. This rotation modifies the superposition created by the Hadamard gate. Rz rotation on qubit 0: Similar to the Ry rotation, this applies a rotation around the Z axis of the Bloch sphere to qubit 0. The parameter "b" controls the amount of rotation. This further modifies the superposition. Hadamard (h) on qubit 0: This Hadamard operation on qubit 0 at the end can be used to disentangle.

I'd be very interested to hear what others think of this IBM announcement. Superficially, it sounds like a good thing, but... I'm more than a little skeptical. I still don't buy into this new pitch about us now being in the era of "utility-scale quantum computing". More qubits yes, but their quality is still very mediocre, and expecting users to manually correct (mitigate) errors is not very credible except for the most elite technical teams - not ready for any widespread adoption. I didn't find the July paper in Nature to be compelling - it seemed like more of a specialized situation than a generalized proof of concept for widespread adoption. Any thoughts? I'm just not seeing any informed views so far on LinkedIn - a bunch of reposts (30), but without any responsive analysis or commentary. Or maybe people are just overwhelmed with this Month's intense conference schedule. #QuantumComputing #IBMQuantum #IBM #UtilityScaleQuantumComputing #QuantumInformationScience #QIS #Quantum

IBM and Pasqal, as leaders in superconducting circuit and neutral atom-based quantum computers respectively, today announced their intent to partner to develop a common approach to quantum-centric supercomputing and promoting application research in chemistry and materials science. IBM and Pasqal will work with leading institutions in high-performance computing to establish the foundations for quantum-centric supercomputing — the integration of quantum computing with advanced classical computing to create the next generation of supercomputers.

The next step in nvn architecture : up to many years now i don´t miss any news concerning quantum computing. IBM research anounces the next step, the IBM Condor, a 1,121 superconducting qubit quantum processor based on cross-resonance gate technology. Also additionally using the software SDK Qiskit 1.0 you can combine hardware and software now. The combination of AI and quantum computing will be the next big step forward in the future. When do you buy your first quantum processor based computer ? 😊 https://lnkd.in/d-E3Un2q
