Australian physicists leverage big data and machine learning to predict when quantum systems will break down, helping prevent that from happening

February 8, 2017

Briefing

  • Predictive Techniqu – Australian physicists employed big data to accurately predict when quantum systems will break down, as published in January 2017 Nature Communications article
  • Quantum Computing’s Potential – Quantum systems have significant applications to sensing and metrology
  • Problem with Quantum Systems – Randomization of quantum systems subjects them to decoherence which can destroy their usefulness
  • Preventive Measure – Applied machine learning to prevent quantum systems from breaking, extending useful lifetime of qubits
  • Applicable Technique – Can apply to any quantum bit in any technology, including special superconducting circuits used by major corporations, helping to realize potential of quantum computing
