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 offline…

Simulating large-scale quantum computers has become more difficult as the quality of quantum processing units (QPUs) improves. Validating the results is key to ensure that after the devices scale beyond what is classically simulable, we can still trust the outputs. Similarly, when generating large-scale datasets for various AI models that aim to aid in the operation of quantum processors…

Quantum computing is entering an era where progress will be driven by the integration of accelerated computing with quantum processors. The hardware that controls and measures a quantum processing unit (QPU) faces demanding computational requirements—from real-time calibration to quantum error-correction (QEC) decoding. Useful quantum applications will require QEC and calibration at scales only…
