In the United States, IBM, AMD and Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have launched a joint platform for testing methods to detect and correct errors in quantum computing. This was reported by Channel NewsAsia.
Combining quantum and classical systems
The platform combines IBM quantum computers, including its 120-qubit Nighthawk quantum chip, with ORNL’s Umbra supercomputer. Umbra runs on AMD Instinct graphics processing units and AMD EPYC central processing units.
The system will enable researchers to test ways of detecting and correcting quantum errors by combining classical and quantum computing resources. Qubits are the basic units of information in quantum computers, while their calculations remain vulnerable to errors.
