Applications, software, and hardware co-design on QuEra's neutral-atom technology

Neutral atom quantum technology has been at the forefront of quantum computing in recent years, with scientific results that include quantum simulation advances on analog devices and the novel quantum error correction implementations on the digital. QuEra is a dedicated full-stack commercial developer of the neutral atom quantum technology. In this talk, we present the efforts to co-design applications, quantum error correction protocols, and software stack for different generations of QuEra quantum hardware. The full co-design approach is critical for extracting optimal performance on the current hardware and enabling quantum computing breakthroughs. The co-design efforts are manifested in the recent large-scale demonstrations of quantum machine learning on QuEra's analog hardware [1], and the logical magic state distillation demonstrations on the digital [2]. We describe the multi-pronged efforts to enable efficient compilation of algorithms for QuEra's atom reconfigurable digital hardware. The software efforts synergize with ongoing quantum chemistry application development in the Q4Bio program. Finally, we cover the algorithmic fault-tolerance [3] method that will unlock significant resource savings with reconfigurable neutral-atom hardware for future full-scale error correction implementations.
