An Israeli startup says it has found a software fix for one of quantum computing's biggest problems

[DarkEnergy]

Israeli quantum software company Qedma has integrated its error mitigation technology with Quantinuum's computing platform, aiming to let researchers run larger, more complex quantum calculations with greater accuracy. The integration gives Quantinuum customers access to Qedma's Quantum Error Suppression and Error Mitigation software, known as QESEM, developed over the past year as a founding member of Quantinuum's Startup Partner Program

Errors caused by noise and other hardware limitations remain one of the largest obstacles to practical quantum computing, and Qedma says its hardware independent software analyzes and mitigates those errors in a system's output, improving circuit fidelity without requiring any changes to the underlying quantum hardware itself. Quantinuum's systems already have high average two qubit gate fidelity, and the company says combining that hardware with Qedma's software could enable deeper, more accurate calculations with applications in finance and materials science

Qedma CEO and co-founder Asif Sinay said initial tests of QESEM on Quantinuum's systems showed improvements on demanding workloads, including simulations approaching the limits of what conventional computers can reproduce. Qedma was founded by Sinay alongside Dorit Aharonov, whose research three decades ago helped demonstrate the feasibility of error corrected quantum computation in the first place, and Netanel Lindner, a theoretical condensed matter physicist
