Abstract

Our H-Series hardware follows a generational roadmap growing the power of the QPU and improving its fault tolerance. We will present our updated roadmap displaying our path to scalable, fault-tolerant quantum computing systems. With our H1, H2 generations and soon to be released Helios QPU’s, we have focused on proving out the basic operating principles of the QCCD architecture, showing high physical gate fidelity and the core essential components for scaling and performing error correction. As we now enter a new era of quantum computing development, we share our vision beyond the current stage of our roadmap beginning with H3 and its use of 2D grid architecture enabling designs-at-scale and H4, later expected to bring us from an era of scientific discovery to commercially relevant quantum computing.
