(MURI 17) Scalable Certification of Quantum Computing Devices and Networks

Abstract

Quantum computers made of tens of qubits are becoming a tangible reality. However, testing such quantum devices poses a fundamental challenge: even using the most advanced methods, the most common tests, state and process tomography, become impractical beyond 10?20 qubits. There is currently no robust and scalable practical approach to testing quantum devices, creating major problems in terms of verifiability and trust. This project aims to address these shortcomings by establishing solid theoretical foundations for the trustworthy operation of large-scale quantum devices in the long term.
