AQT explores and defines the future of superconduting quantum computers end-to-end with a full-stack platform for collaborative research and development. This platform comprises design and fabrication of novel qubits; architecture of quantum processors; cryopackaging and cryogenics; room temperature control chain, including hardware, firmware, and software; optimization tools for quantum circuits; and a suite of tools for quantum characterization, verification, and validation. These are available to users who participate in the platform’s development, resulting in a virtuous cycle.
Develop long-lives superconducting quantum bits that are custom designed for specific computing applications.
Developing an open, fully accessible interface between the superconducting qubit hardware and the user.
Characterize the error models in current NISQ quantum processors, thereby elucidating approaches to maximize circuit performance. Such optimizations will span both the algorithm and engineering space.
The testbed allows early-career scientists to access world-class quantum computing hardware and software systems, establishing a unique environment for active mentoring, open discussion, and networking between different stakeholders in the quantum ecosystem.
