Join Us at the Forefront of Quantum Computing Innovation 🚀
Description of the Team/Project
You will join the Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computing team within Quandela’s Architecture division. The team brings together researchers, engineers, and students working on Quantum Error Correction and fault-tolerant protocols. The team works closely with the quantum information, quantum device physics, software and experimental teams across the company.
Within this framework, you will contribute to the development of quantum error correction and fault-tolerant computing strategies that enable the scaling of Quandela’s Spin-Optical Quantum Computing architecture specifically working on exploring hyperbolic and semi-hyperbolic floquet codes in the SPOQC architecture.
(Semi)-Hyperbolic Floquet codes are a class of dynamical quantum error-correcting codes whose implementation relies solely on pair measurements, and that offer good asymptotic scaling for both their physical- to logical-qubit encoding rate and distance. However, due to the underlying hyperbolic geometry, their realization requires long-range connexion. Furthermore, it is yet unclear how to perform logical operations on these codes beyond simple information protection. The internship offers two axes that can be explored in parallel: (a) the implementation of these codes on Quandela's SPOQC architecture, and especially the impact of long range connexions on the fault-tolerance offered by these codes, (b) transferring to these codes, if possible, known methods to perform logical operations based on lattice deformations (eg Dehn twists).
The intern is expected to conduct a thourough litterature review, explore the topics of the internship and produce a detailed report as well as some well-documented code.
