The Leading Research Center for Quantum Computing was created on the basis of the Russian Quantum Center to develop an experimental prototype of a quantum computing device and a cloud platform for its remote operation.
The project is carried out jointly with leading scientific organizations: Lebedev Physical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology, and Valiev Institute of Physics and Technology of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
This consortium will develop a five-qubit ion-based quantum computer and a stack of quantum software and mathematical models that allow applying new approaches to the implementation of quantum algorithms. A unique feature of the project is the use of qudits – multi-level computational units of quantum information.
The LRC project is supported by the Russian Venture Company and the Ministry of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Media of the Russian Federation. The industrial partner of the project is SP Kvant LLC.
Quantum computers use the effects of quantum superposition and entanglement for solving computational tasks. Technologies based on quantum computing can substantially outperform classical computers in numerous areas, such as cryptanalysis, complex systems modeling, optimization, machine learning, and artificial intelligence.
One of the critical issues in developing quantum computing devices is the selection of an underlying physical system that enables the implementation of qubits – basic information units of quantum computers, similar to classical bits.
In the LRC project, the experimental prototype of a quantum computing device is implemented based on trapped ions. This physical system is considered one of the most promising according to the research results by the global scientific community and commercial organizations in the field of quantum computing.
The development of the experimental prototype of a quantum computing device and cloud platform is carried out according to the Russian Quantum Technologies Roadmap and is directly related to the implementation of a key subtechnology in quantum computing – the development of an ion-trap quantum computing device.
Quantum computing can be applied to solving a wide range of industrial tasks. The most popular and demanded areas include optimization, modeling of complex physical systems (for example, chemical compounds and materials), and machine learning.
Our solution is built upon a 3-layered modular structure, which allows us to implement a convenient high-level interface, translate the input algorithm into optimal intermediate representation and dispatch the task to an actual quantum computing unit.
The purpose of the program is to construct a quantum circuit that encodes a circuit with any set of gates that are available on a quantum computer implemented on a trapped-ion system. Quantum state is encoded by a shallow equivalent circuit using a variational algorithm
The software calculates the population of families of states generated by a particular quantum circuit, searches for states belonging to the target family of states, and determines whether a state belongs to a specific family of states
The method will reduce the number of elementary operations required to implement quantum algorithms, thereby increasing the resulting fidelity
