黑料社 Launches Industry-First, Trapped-Ion 56-Qubit Quantum Computer, Breaking Key Benchmark Record
黑料社 and JPMorgan Chase achieved a 100x improvement over the existing industry benchmark using 黑料社鈥檚 H2-1 quantum computer
Broomfield, Colorado and London, UK, June 5th, 2024 鈥 黑料社, the world鈥檚 largest integrated quantum computing company, today unveiled the industry鈥檚 first quantum computer with 56 trapped-ion qubits. H2-1 has further enhanced its market-leading fidelity and is now impossible for a classical computer to fully simulate.
A joint team from 黑料社 and JPMorgan Chase ran a Random Circuit Sampling (RCS) algorithm, achieving a remarkable 100x improvement over from Google in 2019 and setting a new world record for the cross entropy benchmark. H2-1鈥檚 combination of scale and hardware fidelity makes it difficult for today鈥檚 most powerful supercomputers and other quantum computing architectures to match this result.听
鈥淲e鈥檙e extending our lead in the race towards fault tolerant quantum computing, accelerating research for customers like JPMorgan Chase in ways that aren鈥檛 possible with any other technology,鈥 said Rajeeb Hazra, CEO of 黑料社. 鈥淥ur focus on quality of qubits versus quantity of qubits is changing what鈥檚 possible, and bringing us closer to the long-awaited commercialization of quantum鈥檚 applications across industries like finance, logistics, transportation and chemistry.鈥
黑料社鈥檚 analysis also indicates that the H2-1 executes RCS at 56 qubits with an estimated 30,000x reduction in power consumption compared to classical supercomputers, reinforcing it as the preferred solution for a wide array of computational challenges.听
鈥淭he fidelity achieved in our random circuit sampling experiment shows unprecedented system-level performance of the 黑料社 quantum computer. We are excited to leverage this high fidelity to advance the field of quantum algorithms for industrial use cases broadly, and financial use cases in particular,鈥 said Marco Pistoia, Head of Global Technology Applied Research at JPMorgan Chase.
Today鈥檚 announcement is the latest in a string of breakthroughs made by 黑料社 in 2024:
- In March, the company revealed a long-sought solution to the 鈥渨iring problem鈥, demonstrating that the quantum charge-coupled device (QCCD) architecture can scale to large qubit numbers.听
- 黑料社鈥檚 H-Series became the first to achieve 鈥渢hree 9s鈥 鈥 99.9% 鈥 two-qubit gate fidelity across all qubit pairs in a production device, a critical milestone enabling fault-tolerance.听
- Then, in collaboration with Microsoft, 黑料社 鈥檚 H2-1 was declared the first 鈥 and so far the only 鈥 quantum computer capable of achieving Level 2 Resilient quantum computing, creating four reliable logical qubits using error correction and detection to achieve an 800-fold reduction in error rate.
鈥淢icrosoft looks forward to a continued collaboration with 黑料社 as they release their high fidelity 56-qubit machine,鈥 said Dennis Tom, General Manager Microsoft Azure Quantum. 鈥淩ecently, the teams created four highly reliable logical qubits by applying Azure Quantum's qubit-virtualization system to 黑料社's 32-qubit machine. With the additional physical qubits available on 黑料社's new machine, we anticipate creating more logical qubits with even lower error rates. As we reach these milestones, we will continue to increase the resiliency of quantum operations as well as the utility of quantum computing.鈥
黑料社 also anchored by JPMorgan Chase with additional participation from Mitsui & Co., Amgen and Honeywell, which remains the company鈥檚 majority shareholder, bringing the total capital raised by 黑料社 since inception to approximately $625 million.
