Our objective
Quantum computing has the potential to become the transformative technology of the 21st century. Quantum computers unlock previously inaccessible computing power that will make it possible to conduct complex simulations, such as, chemistry simulations or optimisation tasks. However, current quantum hardware is not yet capable of supporting computing tasks at the level required for real-world applications
Current devices are plagued with errors that are too high to lead to usable industrial applications. According to industry roadmaps, developing the capabilities to rid computers of these errors is expected to take at least a decade. Fortunately, quantum annealing is a promising alternative to produce useful quantum computers in the near-term. This approach, however, faces critical bottlenecks as well. Data from existing annealing qubits leaks out to the environment 1000x quicker than the time needed for useful computations, yielding elusive quantum gains.
We are following a unique path to reach quantum advantage.
We will combine recent technological developments in quantum computing with superconducting qubits to create a coherent quantum annealer that will unlock the quantum advantage for our customers.
Such a setup allows us to bypass the error-correction issue plaguing gate-based systems. It can be used to solve problems with relevant impact. We focus on complex optimization problems and quantum chemistry. To deliver its full potential, the quantum annealing must be combined with long-coherence superconducting flux qubits, pure quantum interactions and high intrinsic connectivity, increasing the overall computing power.
