NSF Quantum Testbed
Development of a full-stack built on the dual-rail architecture offering quantum error detection and quantum error correction.
The ERASE project will establish a NSF Quantum Testbed (U.S. National Science Foundation NQVL Award# 2435244) to develop an innovative quantum computing platform based on dual-resonator ‘erasure flag’ qubits that enhance the error detection and correction required to achieve practical quantum computing. Researchers will have access to advanced tools for developing new algorithms and improving software systems, as well as the opportunity to experiment with quantum error correction and create new types of quantum algorithms that use mid-circuit measurements and program branching based on the measurement results. ERASE is a collaboration between academia and an industrial hardware partner, Quantum Circuits, Inc., to drive research towards creation of practical quantum information technologies. ERASE will promote educational initiatives to cultivate a skilled quantum workforce, in partnership with historically Black colleges and universities. The project aims to build a vibrant national ecosystem for quantum research, paving the way toward achieving quantum advantage in computation and simulation.
