Description du projet
Une plateforme quantique révolutionnaire ouvre la voie à un avantage quantique
Les ordinateurs quantiques ont le potentiel de traiter des problèmes que les ordinateurs actuels ne peuvent pas résoudre. Ces dispositifs basés sur des chiffres quantiques (qudits) pourraient s’avérer plus efficaces pour résoudre des problèmes complexes que leurs homologues à qubits, en démontrant une capacité de calcul, une précision, une vitesse et une résistance au bruit supérieures avec moins de composants. Financé par le Conseil européen de l’innovation, le projet QuGANTIC vise à concevoir le premier ordinateur quantique photonique utilisant des qudits générés par des peignes de fréquence quantiques. La plateforme quantique envisagée aura des implications importantes pour l’apprentissage automatique quantique, en particulier les réseaux antagonistes génératifs, qui sont très prometteurs pour l’apprentissage automatique et la découverte de schémas dans les données saisies.
Objectif
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.
