IBM has revealed a significant breakthrough in the pursuit of practical quantum computing. Their quantum error-correction algorithm, designed to mitigate the errors inherent in quantum systems, can now be executed in real-time on standard AMD field-programmable gate array (FPGA) chips. This development represents a major stride towards making quantum computers both more accessible and cost-effective.
The announcement follows IBM's previous unveiling of the error-correcting algorithm back in June. A forthcoming research paper, reviewed by Reuters, demonstrates the algorithm's real-time functionality on AMD's FPGA chips. According to Jay Gambetta, Director of IBM Research, this achievement proves that the algorithm isn't just theoretically sound, but also functional in real-world applications. Importantly, it operates on readily available and relatively inexpensive AMD chips.
Gambetta emphasised the significance of the implementation, highlighting that its processing speed is ten times faster than required. This speed boost is a crucial advancement for the practicality of quantum error correction. IBM aims to construct a quantum computer named Starling by 2029, and Gambetta noted that this algorithm development was completed a year ahead of the anticipated schedule, demonstrating the rapid progress being made in the field.
