DC Comics’ Firestorm is the fusion of two individuals, forming one superhero. Similarly, Q-CTRL has fused two distinct protocols—teleportation and error detection—into a singular, more capable protocol.

Happy New Year from the #quantum future (Australia)!

It was a great end to the year for our team. Wishing everyone all over the world a happy and peaceful holiday season. And got those who struggle to find peace, let's hope it comes to them soon.

Excited to share the 2024 year in review from Q-CTRL!

Check out how much we've pushed the quantum industry from #quantumcomputing to #quantumsensing

Q-CTRL brand colours. No Shame at all 🤣

No. In Australia the public system provides a strong safety net for everyone and a private supplement lets you "skip the line" for immediate access to non-urgent surgeries.

Many imperfections, but infinitely better than the US private system.

There is a name for the use of violence and murder in the name of a political end.

If that's what youre into, please take it elsewhere.

You're proving my point sadly.

I hate the US health insurance system so much it was a core part of why I moved overseas. It needs dramatic change. Using that to justify murder is not the way

The response to the #UnitedHealthcare CEO murder shows 2 things:

1) there is an unacceptable welcoming of violence in political/policy discourse

2) our oligarchs are forgetting that stability & social license are essential for their continued wealth and safety

We published ppm a few years ago so it's great to see this crossing the 1ppm barrier!

It's hard to watch Twitter going so dark. Now it's #techbros claiming Canada is communist and should be annexed. WTF kind of propaganda amplification is going on there?!?

Time for #qoffee from Q-CTRL

Would you like The Jitters or Coherence?

Learn quantum computing | Q-CTRL Go from zero background to programming real quantum computers

#BlackFriday and #quantumcomputing meet...get lifetime access to Black Opal from Q-CTRL. So long as we operate the software you can use it.

Education is the best gift, period.

Experimental Benchmarking of an Automated Deterministic Error-Suppression Workflow for Quantum Algorithms Excitement about the promise of quantum computers is tempered by the reality that the hardware remains exceptionally fragile and error prone, forming a bottleneck in the development of alternative app...

The work combines deterministic error suppression (see link) with error detection based on flag qubits and stabilizer measurements in the "pre fault tolerance" era...a little bit of #QEC with *no encoding* helps a lot!

Achieving computational gains with quantum error correction primitives: Generation of long-range entanglement enhanced by error detection The resource overhead required to achieve net computational benefits from quantum error correction (QEC) limits its utility while current systems remain constrained in size, despite exceptional progre...

In case you haven't seen it, here's our latest work from Q-CTRL on using #QEC primitives to actually boost the performance of #quantumcomputers!

This is a subtle but important point. Using QEC primitives allows the machine to actually do more, not just demo QEC!

It can absolutely be leveraged in other protocols like QEC!

It's a runtime error detection mechanism that post selects out states with errors - but importantly it works without destructive msmt on the state - only on he flag qubits.

We just do those to validate fidelity.

To be clear the state creation is not probabilistic - it's unitary.

We add an error detection step just the way we would if we were using full QEC.

Thanks! Not quite heralded detection as the state creation is purely unitary. However we use stabiliser measurements on ancillae to detect errors (just like QEC).

Did you hear what happened to the rainbow 🌈 that committed a crime?

It was sent to prism.

But don't worry, it was a light sentence.
