Real-Time Decoding, Algorithmic GPU Decoders, and AI Inference Enhancements in NVIDIA CUDA-Q QEC
Real-time decoding is crucial to fault-tolerant quantum computers. By enabling decoders to operate with low latency concurrently with a quantum processing unit (QPU), we can apply corrections to the device within the coherence time. This prevents errors from accumulating, which reduces the value of results received. We can do this online, with a real quantum device, or offlineβ¦
