With Boulder Opal, Chalmers was able to design totally new numerically optimized gates that enable massive speedups without introducing new gate errors.
Reduction in gate duration.
It was really easy to go from code to experiments. I started from the relevant notebook in the documentation, followed the steps, adapted when necessary, and it simply worked! We’re now using Q-CTRL pulses that allow us to cut the time of our gates by eight times.
Q-CTRL worked with TfNSW to improve the performance of quantum algorithms relevant to transport optimizaition problems and charted a path to quantum advantage.
Improvement in algorithmic success.
This was a rare opportunity for some of our leading transport innovators and quantum computing experts to come together to tackle complex transport network management and congestion problems.
Q-CTRL worked with Advanced Navigation to develop a new hybrid approach to quantum navigation augmented by quantum control, enabling high positioning accuracy over very long periods of GPS denial.
Navigational stability improvement.
This groundbreaking application of autonomous quantum sensors in space exploration will be invaluable in leveraging extraterrestrial resources to establish permanent human bases on the Moon, Mars and beyond.
Q-CTRL developed and tested new optimized quantum logic gates that showed massive improvements in gate errors and stability against hardware drifts.
Gate-level hardware improvement.
We used Qiskit Pulse and Q-CTRL’s Boulder Opal to run error-robust quantum gates on a five-qubit IBM Quantum Canary processor. These results show just how powerful pulse-level control can be for programming a quantum computer over the cloud.
