Quantum Startup Foundry (QSF)

Today, IonQ announced it achieved its latest technical milestone – demonstrating remote ion-ion entanglement – as it progresses towards developing future quantum networks and supporting IonQ’s overall scaling strategy. Building off the ion-photon entanglement achievement announced in February of this year, today’s demonstration is the second of four significant milestones that IonQ has identified as essential for unlocking massive scale via modularity and photonic interconnects.

What a terrific group of future quantum scientists, engineers and mathematicians! So fun working with the next generation.

Great news from BEIT! This week, we received the official copies of three patents granted over the past few months, marking significant advancements in both quantum computing and classical optimization technologies. BEIT001: A breakthrough method for solving QUBO problems on classical computers using tree decompositions of low treewidth graphs. Our solver efficiently tackles sparse QUBOs with thousands of variables in seconds, achieving provable optimality. This solution, perfect for problems that align with DWAVE’s Chimera topology, is available now on the AWS Marketplace: https://lnkd.in/dbkSZbAD. BEIT007: We’ve developed more efficient implementations of critical quantum gates like CnX and CnZ, which are foundational in many quantum circuits. By leveraging mid-circuit measurements, our method reduces the number of CX gates required for gates like CCZ, CCCZ, and CCCCZ. BEIT009: Introducing "weighted oracles," which offer powerful enhancements to algorithms like Grover's search. You can explore more of BEIT's research on Grover's algorithm here: https://lnkd.in/d-UCNNt3 and here: https://lnkd.in/eTUhq5T. At BEIT, we’re continually pushing the boundaries of quantum computing through cutting-edge research in optimization, chemical simulation, error correction, and more.

IonQ has unveiled a novel, efficient approach to quantum error correction that could fill the gap between today's quantum error mitigation techniques and the longer-term promise of fully error-corrected, fault-tolerant quantum computers. IonQ’s new method, called CliNR (pronounced ‘cleaner’ and short for Clifford Noise Reduction), is a low-overhead, scalable approach that can improve performance for the noisiest subset of quantum gates on today’s quantum computers.

Quantum computing promises to revolutionize numerous fields, from developing new materials to solving complex optimization problems However, a significant hurdle remains: error correction With every step of a quantum computation, errors accumulate, ultimately leading to inaccurate results. This limits today's quantum computers to performing only shallow calculations with a few qubits and steps, significantly constraining their potential. Error Corp. pioneers a new approach to detect and correct quantum errors more efficiently, promising to reduce the number of qubits required for quantum error correction drastically. Founded by Dennis Lucarelli in early 2022, it has the potential to propel quantum computing beyond its current limitations and address some of the most challenging problems in science and technology. #FutureOfComputing #Future #Computing #QEC #Quantum #QuantumComputing #Startups #Entrepreneurs #VC #VentureCapital #Newsletter #Interview #ErrorCorp
