Matthias Steffen, director of IBM's Quantum Processor Technologies, leads the development of Quantum Starling, an upcoming large-scale quantum supercomputer. This system, utilizing LDPC error-correcting codes, is expected to have 200 logical qubits, performing 100 million operations by 2029. Quantum Starling represents a significant advancement toward achieving quantum advantage, enabling the solution of complex problems much more efficiently than classical supercomputers. Steffen's team is confident in their ability to tackle challenging issues in quantum science, enhancing our understanding of matter and technology.
We need to find correction codes to exponentially suppress error rates, with a slight increase in resources. Our team has discovered LDPC (low-density parity-check) codes.
It will mark the beginning of large-scale problem solving. We're fairly confident that we'll be able to tackle interesting problems that require quantum advantage.
We're already able to solve the ground state of some complex molecules and compete with the best-known classical methods.
A single Starling unit will be 20,000 times more powerful than any existing quantum computer, thanks to error-correcting codes.
