Quantum Collaborative

Quantum circuits are crucial for advancing #quantum computing, but building and testing them has often required access to advanced systems—until now. A new study co-authored by Torey Battelle, PhD demonstrates how researchers can simulate large-scale quantum circuits, like those in Google’s specialized experiments, using widely available classical computing tools. By leveraging the Quantum Rings SDK, a commonly used quantum simulator, the team made it possible to build, debug, and execute complex circuits with accuracy comparable to actual quantum hardware. Their simulations achieved an impressive XEB score of 0.678—a measure of how closely they matched ideal quantum results—and outperformed some current quantum systems. Even better, these simulations can be run on classical computers accessible to many developers, bringing a capability dominated by tech giants within reach for the broader quantum community. ? This work opens new doors for researchers and developers to refine quantum circuits, create new algorithms, and explore commercial applications without waiting for the best quantum computers to become widely available. Congratulations to Torey for co-authoring this work by Venkateswaran Kasirajan and Bob Wold!

The future of #quantum science is promising, but that future hinges on building the workforce needed to sustain it. That’s why we’re excited to share that David Liu (Purdue University) and Houlong Zhuang (Arizona State University) have been awarded $300k for a two-year pilot program focused on training students in quantum science. Funded by the NSF CyberTraining initiative, Liu, Zhuang and ASU collaborators Douglas Jennewein, Marisa Brazil and Torey Battelle, PhD will teach undergraduates, graduates and researchers the fundamentals of quantum computing, with an emphasis on materials science and chemistry. Participants will gain hands-on experience with state-of-the-art IBM quantum hardware and NVIDIA GPU-based simulators through virtual sessions and immersive summer schools, held at Purdue and ASU. These summer schools will feature open forums for participants to discuss quantum science concepts in a more accessible way – demystifying the field and expanding curiosity. The goal? To help develop a diverse, quantum-ready workforce capable of filling vital jobs that advance quantum technologies, promote national security and strengthen economic growth. We’re proud of all involved! ASU Knowledge Enterprise National Science Foundation (NSF) #workforcedevelopment?#quantumcomputing

Torey Battelle, PhD joined quantum leaders from around the world last week at Quantum World Congress, where the latest innovations and global collaborations in quantum technology were celebrated front and center. The event, held in Washington, DC, showcased global cooperation, quantum tech advancements, and partnerships that are reshaping industries. Highlights included Quantinuum’s exciting plans to deliver a fault-tolerant quantum computer by 2029 and insights on the future of the Quantum Internet, shared by Saikat Guha. The Department of Defense also presented fascinating trends on quantum investments, including the vital role international partnerships play in advancing quantum technologies. Additionally, Microsoft Azure shared a partnership with Quantinuum and Atom Computing to explore advanced methods in quantum computing. Exciting collaborations like these continue to drive innovation and bring us closer to realizing the full potential of quantum tech. We’re thrilled Torey could be a part of such pivotal conversations! Check out some of her photos below. #QuantumWorldCongress #QIST #Quantum #QWC2024 ASU Knowledge Enterprise

Big news from our Senior Director of Quantum Networking, Joseph Lukens! Joe is teaming up with Sandia National Laboratories to push the limits of quantum technology. Their goal? To make optical #quantum systems smaller and more efficient by combining light-based technologies with microelectronics. This means they’re working to shrink down the large and complex setups used in optical quantum research today into tiny, chip-sized devices. This could make quantum communications not only more powerful but also easier to produce and use on a larger scale. Thanks to this partnership, they’ve secured $17 million in funding to take their work to the next level. This project, part of Sandia’s Grand Challenge program, is a major step toward making quantum networks a reality. We’re excited to see how this work is driving innovation and shaping the future of what quantum can do.

At the Quantum Collaborative, we’re big fans of work that makes a real-world impact. Today, we get to celebrate Andreas Spanias’ upcoming sustainable energy research as a 2024-2025 Fulbright Scholar. ?? Spanias, a professor of electrical engineering at the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering at Arizona State University and the director of ASU-SenSIP, is one of nine ASU faculty selected to conduct research abroad through the US Fulbright program. In this role, Spanias will partner with faculty members at Saints Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje, North Macedonia, to improve rooftop solar energy systems using AI and machine learning. His goal is to develop algorithms that can detect system issues and optimize performance by measuring solar irradiance, electrical, and weather data. Additionally, Spanias will be conducting seminars and outreach throughout the Balkans to inspire scientists and university students to continue learning about solar energy systems.
