A team composed of researchers from CERFACS and LIRMM (Laboratoire d’Informatique, Robotique et de Micro-électronique de Montpellier) is one of the winners of the Open Science Prize challenge, a contest organised by IBM.
The challenge aimed at improving the precision of some quantum circuits that are deemed important for the development of quantum computing in the future. With more than 70 participants and 30 teams, this international challenge showed that it was possible to substantially improve the preparation of a specific quantum state, called “graph-state”, that may be a crucial step for implementing error correcting codes using quantum computing.
