| Abstract for Research Report |
In this study, based on the activities of previous IMI General Research - Short-term Joint Research (2022a004, 2023a007, 2024a027 with the same organizing committee), we aim to achieve the following objectives: Objective 1: Research on quantum error correction theory using a representation-theoretic approach We have confirmed that we can identify the diagrammatic representation of intertwiners in the representation theory of quantum groups with the trivalent graphs appearing in quantum error correction theory. From the year 2024, we have discussed the architecture of quantum error correction that can be implemented and experimented with on current quantum computers. We will continue these discussions in the year 2025. Objective 2: Quantum human resource development Currently, we are in a situation where quantum algorithms can be experimented with on quantum computers exceeding 50 qubits, and simulations cannot be performed on current computers or HPCs (Reference: Quantinuum will provide a 96-qubit quantum computer and IBM a 155-qubit quantum computer in 2025). In the year 2025, we will provide business updates from companies involved in the quantum computing business, and conduct lectures and hands-on sessions on quantum computing. We will also provide content that offers new learning opportunities to participants who attended past events. Expected outcomes: Incorporating error correction into quantum computers and developing human resources who understand quantum computers are major challenges in the industry. In Objective 1, we will address the challenges by specifically implementing topological quantum error correction, which is considered robust against errors, on current quantum computers and verifying the accuracy of current quantum error correction. In Objective 2, we will address the challenges by developing researchers with knowledge of quantum computing. |
