❓We're often asked: what quantum computers will do in the future and when❓ In our latest tech update, Nick Blunt, Marius Bothe and Aleksei Ivanov dive into four recent papers from the Riverlane team that focus on what quantum computers can achieve as we scale up to trillions of error-free operations - including one paper that was just published in npj Quantum Information! Congratulations everyone. 👏  Here’s what you’ll learn: 🧪 Spoiler alert: it’s all about chemistry. 🧪 1️⃣ The challenge of chemical simulations and role of quantum algorithms  2️⃣ How our new methods could speed up chemical simulations  3️⃣ How we took an established classical technique for chemical simulations and adapted it for use in future quantum computers.  4️⃣ How we developed a non-conventional approach to performing quantum chemistry and materials science on quantum computers. 👉 Find out more: https://lnkd.in/ecYTaKRU #quantumerrorcorrection | #quantumcomputing | #chemistry

📣 “If there’s not enough people to solve the problem, we’re going to be stuck.”     In a recent Forbes CIO newsletter, Liz Durst, VP of QEC Community at Riverlane, shared her perspective on why quantum error correction (QEC) is the next major shift in quantum computing and why tech leaders should start preparing now.     With only ~500 global experts in QEC today, Liz explains why we’re at a critical inflection point and what it will take to scale the talent and tools needed to unlock useful quantum computing.      👉 For her insights on the ‘MegaQuOp’ milestone and quantum-safe readiness to the parallels between the NISQ and QEC eras, you can read the full interview here: https://lnkd.in/eTjStWuA      Before joining Riverlane, Liz helped grow Qiskit into the world’s most widely used quantum software development kit (SDK), now used in more than 700 universities. Today, she’s leading Riverlane's efforts to build up a QEC community.     Stayed tuned for more...👀     #quantumcomputing | #quantumerrorcorrection| #QECcommunity

📣 "The sooner we can crack QEC, the sooner we will see useful quantum computing." In a recent article for EE Times | Electronic Engineering Times our VP of engineering, Marco Ghibaudi, explains: 1️⃣ Why Quantum Error Correction (QEC) is the key to unlocking the full potential of quantum computers 2️⃣ The challenges involved in scaling this technology 3️⃣ Why discussions around 'when quantum computers will be useful' are a lot more nuanced than they first appear. 👉 Find out more: https://lnkd.in/ep6Nargp #quantumcomputing | #quantumerrorcorrection

Thank you #APSMarch! What a week where there were three words on the Riverlane team’s lips: Quantum Error Correction. Here are some of our insights: 1️⃣ QEC is here (and people are impatient) This year, we noticed a significant shift: not only are more people familiar with Quantum Error Correction (QEC), but they're also eager to get involved—whether they're already in the quantum industry or aspiring to join. Our team had engaging discussions with many scientists keen on (or already) exploring and developing new solutions. It’s exciting to see such active interest and collaboration! 2️⃣ Working together… works It was great to see so many of our quantum hardware and control system partners reporting their progress. Many of our conversations centred around how the quantum community can work together to realise fault-tolerant quantum computing. Our VP of engineering, Marco Ghibaudi, reported on the development of Deltaflow 2, the QEC Stack. Our pre-release product, already being used by Rigetti Computing and Infleqtion was displayed on the stand. More details to follow soon, but you can find out the latest here: https://lnkd.in/dajr8P9N) 3️⃣ Integration matters While it’s great that QEC is now widely accepted as quantum’s defining challenge, the QEC stack must effectively integrate and interconnect across every quantum computer. Talks from Andrea Husseini, Aniket Datta and Samin Ishtiaq at Riverlane explained how we’re helping our partners to integrate our QEC stack, Deltaflow, with their qubit hardware and control systems. The Quantum Error Correction interface (QECi) generated a lot of excitement from the audience and the wider community eager to know more. QECi allows any QEC stack to seamlessly integrate with all major qubit types and quantum control systems.

Congratulations to Andrew Patterson from Riverlane and Leigh Lapworth from Rolls-Royce on their new paper, which explores the intersection of quantum computing and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD).   CFD is the simulation of fluid flow and heat transfer, crucial for designing everything from aircraft to nuclear reactors. The pair’s advancements in quantum matrix inversion algorithms could revolutionise CFD by providing faster, more accurate simulations, ultimately leading to safer and more efficient engineering solutions.   🔍 Why It Matters:  Quantum Singular Value Transformation (QSVT) is a quantum algorithm that could speed up matrix calculations much faster than traditional methods. However, the number of times we need to repeat measurements can offset this speed. This research focuses on reducing these measurements in the context of CFD, which is essential for simulating aerodynamics in applications such as jet engines and Formula 1 cars.   ⚙️ How They Did It:  By creating a new algorithm and testing it in real-world CFD scenarios, Andrew and Leigh have shown that we can achieve better results with fewer measurements.     Quantum algorithms offer exciting possibilities, but their real-world effectiveness can be tricky. The work demonstrates how we can use these algorithms more efficiently, making strides in practical applications.   Read the full paper here: https://lnkd.in/eDhpGkRE

🤔 To reset or not to reset? That is the question... that our latest peer-reviewed paper answers in this month’s Nature’s NPJ Quantum Information journal.   The paper identifies a commonly overlooked phenomenon: How does resetting qubits affect the performance and speed of fault-tolerant quantum computation?  They also suggest alternative ‘syndrome’ extraction circuits, which can be used when mid-circuit (unconditional) resetting is not available on the hardware and which speeds up the computation.   The main theme of the paper is also a question that has implications for quantum computers as they scale and take on increasingly complex logical operations as we push to scale to millions of error-free quantum operations – aka the MegaQuOp. 👉 Find out more in this tech update from the paper’s lead authors Gyorgy Geher and Ophelia Crawford: https://lnkd.in/eSWE3Q-G 👉 Read the full paper here: https://lnkd.in/eqDCe99J   Congratulations to all the team! #quantumcomputing | #quantumerrorcorrection | #quantum
