At the conference, the lonQ team will present new advances and ideas in quantum computing which have resulted from research at the company's headquarters on the campus of the University of Maryland, as well as in collaboration with Duke University, The University of California (Berkeley), the California Institute of Technology, ETH Zurich, the Quantum Economic Development Consortium, GE Research, and Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Their presentations will include:
Pushing the Limit of Quantum Chemistry Simulations with lon-Trap Hardware, presented by Luning Zhao. This work, done in collaboration with Oak Ridge National Laboratory, explores the use of the variational quantum eigensolver (VQE) on lonQ's high-fidelity, 11-qubit ion-trap quantum computers. The team was able to simulate small molecular systems such as metal hydrides with a 2-electron, 6-qubit active space and beyond to chemical accuracy. Research on metal hydrides can benefit development of technologies including batt ries and hydrogen storage for hydrogen powered vehicles.Risk Aggregation by Quantum
measure quantum computers based on their performance in real applications rather than on their nominal hardware details. It is the basis for lonQ's new #AQ single-number benchmark, which lonQ has begun using in order to make the real-world performance of their systems as transparent as possible to users.
