#qibo — Public Fediverse posts

A programming job to develop the fullstack quantum computing package #qibo with many possibilities to develop #opensource #software and learn #physics and learn first hand about #qubit fabrications and calibration.

Basically you will learn about all levels of running a #quantum computer and your work will influence the capacities for academic quantum computing in the foreseeable future.

If you identify with an underrepresented group and that makes you hesitate whether to apply - feel free to inquire or simply do apply.

@jsdodge here's some data about electric power usage of a #quantum processor prototype.

This is a poster we prepared with Kay Giang, Taufiq Murtadho, Yung Szen Yap, Paul Tan and other collaborators based on what is used at the lab of Rainer Dumke at #NTU #SG

Just before printing, Paul pointed out the power consumption of amplifiers. Turns out for more qubits the largest consumption would be from these RF electronics which amplify FPGA signals and play them into the fibers connected the cryostat to control the qubits.

The numbers mean:
Changing the state of the qubit costs negligible energy.
Running an FPGA is like watching #cats on the internet, the RF electronics in a setup for a dozen or so qubits is like the entire lab staff watching cats on their phones.
The relay PC where a remote user can run their circuits via #qibo has similar electricity usage like a laptop.

Then there's the cryostat which is using power like a few hundred regular household fridges. When you insert a chip then to test it you need to cool it down from room temperature and in steady state the consumption is lower than for cool down.

Without integrated electronics for the amplifiers then the power would scale linearly with the number of qubits (techniques such as multiplexing only lower the slope constant because of frequency crowding)
Going forward, dedicated modules will be needed or power consumption would start hitting megawatts eg if you'd want to run some cryptography applications.

We prepared these considerations for a workshop on resource costs of quantum computing by the #quantumEnergyInitiative

These numbers are for an academic lab, industry reps claimed more efficiency.

#qibo I'm a fan.

On Thursday I talked to Stefano Carazza who is pushing forward the vision to have a #FOSS full stack #quantumComputing package.

The package is called Qibo and it's freely available. As in free software.

We talked about about how at a certain stage adoption will become relevant, for now releasing #QiboCal and #QiboLab is the focus.

I say relevant, because it's not going to be an issue, a challange at most. Why, there's a ton of new setups emerging and experimentalists prefer to run everything from a single jupyter notebook and have control over what is happening in their lab rather than be restricted.

A researcher is not building abinitio a #quantumDevice to be limited by #IP or some nonsense that our societal system tends to generate.

Qualitatively new ideas are continuously surfacing and to seamlessly make academic progress we need #FOSS and integrate our efforts. Private interests should not limit what researchers are doing; vide our flawed publication system.

We need 2 things:
- theorists publishing their protocols with code integrated into Qibo as e.g. a calibration, optimization or circuit routine.
- experimentalists setting up Qibo drivers.
Qibo is a bridge between theory and experiments that is going to stand on the FOSS principle. A principle that will allow us to make more progress than without it.

#superconducting qubits, #RydbergAtoms, #trappedIons, #integratedPhotonics have similar requirements and Qibo is going to make them buzz 😊😄

If that sounds similar to what you think is already doing that then no. The FOSS feature needs to be present otherwise you're making a managerial design error that will show up down the line.

A basic introduction to #QIBO with a link to online python notebook plus accompanying slides which I used for a tutorial for understands at #NTU #SG.

The examples include:
- basic #Clifford group generators such as Z, X and #Hadamard,
- Preparing a #Bellstate with a #CNOT
- #swaptest, sampling and histograms
