IQM Quantum Computers and Zurich Instruments have collaborated on a real-time Quantum Error Correction (QEC) demonstrator, leveraging the NVIDIA NVQLink platform and IQM's 20-qubit superconducting quantum processor. This integration enables a high-performance control loop, facilitated by Zurich Instruments' newly developed ZQCS Quantum Control System. The resulting architecture is designed to enhance quantum computing reliability and accuracy. By harnessing the capabilities of NVQLink, the system can potentially mitigate quantum errors in real-time, paving the way for more robust quantum computing applications. The development of real-time QEC has significant implications for the field of quantum computing, as it brings the industry closer to widespread adoption1. So what matters to practitioners is that this advancement underscores the urgency of planning for post-quantum cryptography migration, as the timeline for potential quantum threats to classical cryptography continues to narrow.
