Practical quantum computation may be achievable in the next few years, but applications will need to be error tolerant and make the best use of a relatively small number of quantum bits and operations. Compilation tools will play a critical role in achieving these...

In a recent IEEE Spectrum article, Mikhail Dyakonov makes The Case Against Quantum Computing, focusing on the idea that building a quantum computer would require precise control over 2300 continuous variables. This view is absolutely correct if we were building an...

Since my last post, quantum computing hardware continues to develop at an impressive pace, as seen with the recent announcement of Google’s 72-qubit machine (although no test data has been released yet). Pushing the limits of engineering and technology, these...
