D-Wave Quantum (NYSE: QBTS), a leader in quantum computing systems, software, and services, and the world’s first commercial supplier of quantum computers, recently shared important research results that demonstrate successful quantum error mitigation (“QEM”) in its Advantage2(TM) annealing quantum computing experimental prototype. This progress in reducing errors in quantum computers is expected to drive performance advancements in the company’s future quantum computing systems and processors.
Quantum computing is incredibly powerful but can be sensitive to noise and imperfections in the hardware – known as “errors.” Fixing these errors is a major challenge, and while there is a solution called quantum error correction, it’s currently too complex and resource-intensive to be practical. Instead, D-Wave has applied QEM as a near-term solution to estimate error-free expectation values in the presence of small noise.
D-Wave’s latest research focuses on zero-noise extrapolation (“ZNE”), one of the most practical QEM techniques. These techniques, used in the company’s Advantage2 annealing quantum computing experimental prototype, showed reduced errors in quantum simulation and produced results consistent with the quantum system maintaining its quantum state (known as “coherence”) for a much longer period of time compared to when no mitigation techniques are applied. This means better and more reliable results.
This breakthrough could translate to higher performance for D-Wave’s future quantum computers, like the upcoming Advantage2 system. Applying these research findings, D-Wave’s quantum systems and processors are expected to be able to tackle highly computationally complex problems in scientific-related and machine learning applications.
Mohammad Amin, a key researcher at D-Wave, underlined that errors are the biggest challenge in quantum computing. “With this research, we’ve demonstrated the successful mitigation of such errors in quantum annealing, producing measurement results as if the qubits were nearly one order of magnitude more coherent,” Amin said (https://ibn.fm/BYALl). “This opens up new possibilities, like simulating exotic materials and moving closer to achieving quantum supremacy on D-Wave processors.”
This isn’t the first time D-Wave has pushed the boundaries of quantum computing. Most recently, in September 2023, the company announced significant progress with high-coherence fluxonium qubits, which demonstrated quantum properties that are comparable to the best seen to date in scientific literature.
These fluxonium qubits are a key part of the next-generation quantum computers. D-Wave is especially interested in using them, as they’ve displayed some advantages over other types of qubits. The tests showed that these fluxonium qubits can stay stable for over 100 microseconds, and the measured effective temperature of its fluxonium, 18 millikelvin, is among the best that has been reported in the scientific literature to date for superconducting qubits.
“This shows that fluxonium is a viable candidate qubit for D-Wave’s gate model quantum computing architectures,” said Mark Johnson, SVP of quantum technologies at D-Wave (https://ibn.fm/0OpRu). “Moreover, in doing this work we have learned that fluxonium can address some of the known shortcomings of competing superconducting gate model qubits. We believe this will have a significant impact on D-Wave’s hardware development, and it also reinforces our technical leadership.”
