Description
Quantum computing is emerging as a transformative new paradigm aiming to solve relevant problems intractable to classical computers. Quantum processing units have seen rapid advancements across the full technology stack—from hardware and software to integration with classical systems, error mitigation and correction, algorithms and applications. To rapidly enhance system performance—including qubit count, operational fidelity, and processing speed—advancements are required across the entire quantum computing stack. A modular architecture, combined with robust error correction algorithms, paves the way for building a highly scalable and fault-tolerant quantum computer. The goal is to realize a system with 200 logical qubits capable of executing 100 million quantum operations by 2029. This presentation will provide an overview of the key challenges, recent technological progress, and the roadmap guiding this ambitious development for advancing quantum computing systems.
Furthermore, I will highlight our research to explore approaches to microwave-optical quantum transduction devices based on optomechanical and electro-optic modulation. These optomechanical and electro-optical resonators provide a route to interconversion of microwave and optical photons for quantum interconnects.
