Recently, error correction quantum computing operating system company Riverlane and quantum/classical hybrid computing company Rigetti announced a cooperation. Both parties will jointly explore a project supported by the British innovation agency Innovate UK - solving superconductivity Syndrome extraction problem on quantum computer .
Syndrome extraction is a key step in quantum error correction, which is the biggest challenge that needs to be solved to develop useful quantum computers. The current qubit faces instability problems and is highly sensitive to interference from the external environment and is therefore prone to errors. Applying error correction technology means that it will be possible to measure the state of qubits and correct possible errors with unprecedented speed and efficiency.
Due to the properties of quantum mechanics, it is difficult to directly measure the main qubits that perform actual calculations, as this would destroy the information they carry. So, error correction techniques use additional qubits, called "syndrome qubits," and measure their states, called syndrome extraction, to infer the occurrence of errors on the main qubit. Riverlane and Rigetti hope to minimize the errors introduced by this operation when extracting the syndrome on a superconducting quantum computer.
Riverlane founder and CEO Steve Brierley said: "Some problems are quantum mechanical in nature and so can only be solved by using quantum computers. Therefore, quantum computers provide the opportunity to advance science in many fields, thereby starting from An era of discovery with lots of trial and error to a design era where all possibilities can be simulated. debug is one of the key technologies that will unlock this future. We are excited to work with Rigetti and are eager to solve debug problems across the industry.” Founder and CEO Chad Rigetti said: “Solving the error correction problem requires consensus with partners across the full quantum stack. We are excited to combine Rigetti’s quantum hardware knowledge with Riverlane’s software capabilities to solve this critical Challenging and accelerating progress in the quantum computing industry.”
