Superconducting qubits provide a promising path toward building large-scale quantum computers. The simple and robust transmon qubit has been the leading platform, achieving multiple milestones. However, fault-tolerant computing calls for operations at error rates significantly lower than those exhibited in state of art. Consequently, alternative superconducting with better protection have attracted increasing interest. Among them, fluxonium is particularly candidate, featuring large...

A quantum instruction set is where hardware and software meet. We develop characterization compilation techniques for non-Clifford gates to accurately evaluate its designs.

Abstract We develop an algorithmic framework for contracting tensor networks and demonstrate its power by classically simulating quantum computation of sizes previously deemed out reach. Our main contribution, index slicing, is a method that efficiently parallelizes the contraction breaking it down into much smaller identically structured subtasks, which can then be executed in parallel without dependencies. benchmark our algorithm on class random circuits, achieving greater than 10 5 times...

We utilize machine learning models which are based on recurrent neural networks to optimize dynamical decoupling (DD) sequences. DD is a relatively simple technique for suppressing the errors in quantum memory certain noise models. In numerical simulations, we show that with minimum use of prior knowledge and starting from random sequences, able improve over time eventually output DD-sequences performance better than well known DD-families. Furthermore, our algorithm easy implement...
