Engineering long range interactions for superconducting quantum computers

This project aims to provide a solution to a critical problem in existing superconducting quantum processors by developing methods to create long-range interactions. Superconducting qubits are one of the most promising platforms for building quantum computers. Currently, quantum processors based on this technology offer the largest quantum memories, but do not benchmark well in terms of the size of the quantum program that can be executed. One of the main drawbacks of the existing platforms is that the qubits only interact with their nearest neighbors on the chip. By finding methods for creating effective long-range interactions between qubits, the size of the quantum programs that can run can be larger. Entangled Networks works on providing hardware and software solutions to enhance the performance of quantum computers and will incorporate the results as part of their optimization package.
