National Quantum Computing Centre (NQCC), UK: Quantum Computing Stack Advancing Research

POSTER

Abstract




The National Quantum Computing Centre (NQCC) is a leading institution dedicated to advancing quantum computing research. Our Software and Control Systems group focuses on developing a comprehensive quantum computing stack, spanning from control systems to the application layer, built with a focus on enabling collaboration, and embracing open source components. This unique approach positions our product as a catalyst for quantum computing research in the UK.

Key Points:

1. Open Source Focus:

The poster showcases our commitment to open source principles while aiming for precision and stability in quantum controls for the ion-trap platform. We leverage frameworks like ARTIQ and SINARA for developing quantum controls, and employ open-source tools such as VS-code, Python and C# for application development and Rancher for packaging and deployment of the software.

2. Interoperability Across Quantum Technologies:

The modular design allows our quantum computing stack to seamlessly integrate with various quantum technologies, fostering interoperability. This flexibility of our product will ensure that researchers can experiment with different qubit technologies and seamlessly incorporate them into the NQCC quantum computing stack.

3. Inviting Collaboration: Shaping the Quantum Future:

The poster serves as an open invitation for collaborative efforts, emphasizing NQCC's dedication to inspiring a collective quantum journey. We share our achievements, address challenges, and foster a collaborative spirit to propel quantum computing research into new frontiers.

This poster not only presents the current status of our ground-breaking product but also emphasizes its architectural intricacies. Through the use of open source components, a modular design, and a collaborative ethos, NQCC actively contributes to the evolution of quantum computing. We encourage researchers to explore and experiment with our platform, envisioning a shared quantum future.
