Rare open-access quantum computer now operational

EurekAlert  March 15, 2021 Scientists worldwide can use ion-based testbed at Sandia National Laboratories QSCOUT for research that might not be possible at their home institutions, without the cost or restrictions of using a commercial testbed. QSCOUT serves a need in the quantum community by gives users an uncommon amount of control over their research, opportunity to study the machine itself, which are not yet available in commercial quantum computing systems. It also saves theorists and scientists from the trouble of building their own machines. Sandia hopes to gain new insights into quantum performance and architecture as well as solve […]
