Breaking news from the Quantum World Congress event! Quantinuum has just announced its game-changing quantum processor development roadmap. This roadmap aims to provide users with a quantum advantage in the coming years. Let’s dive into the details!
Over the years, Quantinuum has shown consistent progress in increasing qubit count and fidelity. Starting with the H0 processor in 2019, they have now advanced to the H2 generation with 56 trapped ion qubits and incredibly high two-qubit gate fidelity close to 99.9%. Their collaboration with the University of Colorado Boulder and Microsoft has led to significant breakthroughs in error correction codes, as evidenced by their recent demonstration of creating 12 logical qubits with a remarkable 22x improvement in circuit error rates.
Looking ahead, Quantinuum’s roadmap unveils their next-gen system, Helios, set for launch in 2025. Helios will feature 96 qubits, with a dramatic improvement in physical error rates to under 5×10-4. With error correction, Helios is poised to deliver 50 logical qubits with a low logical error rate of around 10-4. The distinctive two-pronged fork-like topology of Helios sets the stage for groundbreaking quantum computing capabilities.
2027 brings the introduction of the fourth-generation Sol device, shifting from linear qubit arrangements to a 2D grid topology for enhanced performance. With 192 qubits and a further reduction in physical error rates to 2×10-4, Sol promises about 100 logical qubits with a remarkable 10-5 logical error rate. The quantum landscape is truly evolving with Quantinuum’s innovative technological advancements.
Fast forward to 2029, where the Apollo system takes center stage with thousands of qubits and a 10-4 physical error rate. Anticipated to offer hundreds of logical qubits with error rates ranging from 1×10-5 to 1×10-10, Apollo represents a monumental leap towards universal fault-tolerant quantum computing. Brace yourself for the quantum revolution!
