This workshop marks a pivotal shift from theoretical discussions of quantum error correction to practical experimentation on superconducting hardware via IQM Resonance. By enabling participants to run surface code experiments and measure logical error rates directly, the event validates that fundamental fault-tolerance concepts can now be tested on current noisy devices rather than just future architectures. This hands-on access accelerates the maturation of quantum software stacks by grounding abstract error-correction models in real-world noise profiles.
Participants move from QEC theory to real quantum computer access
A recent NERSC workshop, led by Danny Bulmash, helped attendees transition from quantum error correction (QEC) theory to running experiments on IQM Resonance hardware.
Ermal Rrapaj and Danny Bulmash hosted a two-day virtual workshop organized by the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC) designed to bridge the gap between quantum error correction theory and practical implementation. Participants moved beyond foundational concepts to run a quantum memory experiment using superconducting quantum hardware provided by IQM Resonance. The workshop connected theoretical knowledge to real-world application, exploring how error correction can be implemented on a quantum computer and addressing the noise inherent in complex quantum algorithms. A key theme emerging from the training was the substantial opportunity for innovation remaining across the entire quantum error correction…
