Oak Ridge National Lab, IBM, and AMD Launch New Co-Design Platform for Quantum Error Correction

POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y. — IBM (NYSE: IBM), the U.S. Department of Energy-funded Quantum Science Center (QSC) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), and AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) today unveiled a new co-design platform for quantum error correction, integrating quantum and high-performance computing.

Over the last several years, researchers have made significant advances in the field of quantum error correction, including early demonstrations of protecting quantum information from noise, achieving quantum advantage over leading classical methods using techniques with guaranteed correctness, and showing that quantum computers integrated with classical computers can run industry-relevant problems. The research challenge now is to learn how to scale these advances using more classical computing.

To address this challenge, IBM has launched a co-design platform for quantum error correction with the Quantum Science Center at Oak Ridge…
