Projektbeschreibung
Bahnbrechende Quantenplattform zeigt den Weg zum Quantenvorteil
Quantencomputer haben das Potenzial für die Überwindung von Problemen, mit der die heutigen Computer überfordert sind. Solche Geräte, die auf Quantenzahlen – Qudits – beruhen, könnten bessere Leistung zeigen beim Bewältigen von komplexen Problemen als ihre Qubit-Gegenspieler, vor allem durch mehr Rechenkapazität, Genauigkeit, Geschwindigkeit und Rauschbeständigkeit mit weniger Komponenten. Finanziert durch den Europäischen Innovationsrat verfolgt das Projekt QuGANTIC das Ziel, den ersten photonischen Quantencomputer mit Qudits aus Quanten-Frequenzkämmen zu entwickeln. Die anvisierte Quantenplattform wird wichtige Erkenntnisse für maschinelles Lernen im Quantenbereich liefern, insbesondere Generative Adversarial Networks, die viel Potenzial für das automatische Erlernen und Erkennen von Mustern bei Dateneingaben zeigen.
Ziel
The rapidly growing global adaptation of digital technologies has brought an exponential increase in data and computing power consumption, and conventional supercomputers are now reaching their limit in terms of power and energy efficiency. Quantum computers have garnered attention as a way to overcome the struggles of classical computers. Technological progress is happening fast, but the so-called quantum advantage results reported have no meaningful real-world tasks yet, and severe scaling problems remain. An alternative strategy of encoding information in high-dimensional spaces (using quDits rather than qubits) is extremely promising for enhancing computational capacity, accuracy, speed, and noise robustness. However, this approach is still in its infancy.
QuGANTIC proposes a science-towards-technology breakthrough in scalable data loading and learning with quantum processors, based on a novel concept of hybrid integration on a single photonic integrated chip (PIC). Our innovative target is the first quantum computer using quDits generated by quantum frequency combs with the potential to execute operations in a reduced number of steps and provide the first scalable PIC quantum computer.
Learning distributions of data and generating artificial samples is a formidable task for classical computers, and we will use our novel quDit PIC platform to demonstrate that so-called quantum Generative Adversarial Networks can solve this task far better than classical systems.
Our goal will make an unprecedented impact on economy, science and society, as it will predict the behavior of globally critical areas such as energy distribution, weather phenomena, risk assessments and epidemic spreads, by processing vast data sets with a drastic reduction of computational overheads. Our processors have a credible path to market, and QuGANTIC has the right hardware and software Partners to realize this enormous potential.
