Developing Quantum Hypotheses
In quantum science and engineering, hypothesis development plays a foundational role in exploring uncharted phenomena, validating theories, and engineering next-generation technologies. Given the inherently probabilistic and often non-intuitive nature of….
Quantum Device Characterization Methods
Quantum devices are at the heart of quantum computing, sensing, and communication technologies. To ensure their performance, accuracy, and reliability, quantum device characterization is essential. This process involves assessing various….
Standardizing Error Models
In classical computing, error models are relatively well-understood and standardized—flipped bits, transient faults, and memory corruption are known quantities. In quantum computing, however, error modeling is far more complex due….
Cross-platform Quantum Circuit Translation
Quantum computing is evolving rapidly, with multiple hardware platforms (e.g., IBM, Google, IonQ, Rigetti) and software stacks (e.g., Qiskit, Cirq, Braket, t|ket⟩). Each of these platforms has its own native….
IEEE Standards for Quantum Computing
Quantum computing, as an emerging technology, is rapidly advancing in both academic research and commercial applications. However, for its widespread adoption, standardization is essential. Just as classical computing matured through….
Error Rates by Qubit Type
Error rates in quantum computing refer to the probability that a quantum operation (like a gate, readout, or qubit state preservation) fails or produces incorrect results. These errors are a….
Fidelity of Quantum Operations
Fidelity in quantum computing refers to how accurately a quantum operation (or quantum process) matches its intended behavior. Since quantum systems are inherently prone to noise, fidelity is a key….
Quantum Volume
Quantum Volume (QV) is a single-number metric developed by IBM to measure the performance and computational power of a quantum computer. Unlike classical computers, where performance is largely measured in….
Standards for Quantum Devices
As quantum technologies mature, the industry is moving from isolated research projects to large-scale engineering, manufacturing, and deployment. To ensure interoperability, reliability, and safety in this transition, standards for quantum….
