Vice President, AI & Quantum Computing, Paul Smith-Goodson, dives in as today, IonQ announced that it is acquiring the operating assets of Entangled Networks in Toronto, Canada.
Now, rather than being developed by IonQ, technology acquired from Entangled Networks will perform the networking function that ties allow the quantum processing functions together. It will play an important role in helping IonQ achieve its ultimate architectural goal of fault-tolerant computations using entangled qubits spanning multiple QPUs scaled to millions of qubits.
The roadmap includes future development of multi-core QPUs by using multiple compute zones that are capable of scaling to hundreds of physical qubits. The roadmap also anticipates networking multi-core QPUs with other QPUs to form much more powerful quantum machines.Entangled Network's MultiQopt product provides quantum circuit optimization for modular system architectures such as those in development by IonQ.
“With today’s acquisition of Entangled Networks, IonQ is one step closer to developing quantum networks capable of tackling the most complex problems of today and tomorrow. While classical supercomputer networks communicate between processors to divide workloads, the goal of our quantum network is to entangle qubits at scale which can lead to larger, more powerful systems used for computation. We are laying the groundwork today for future growth, scalability, and adoption of quantum.
However, acquiring Entangled Networks was the better and more efficient alternative than continuing to develop that technology in-house. Not only did IonQ gain a proven networking technology, it also saved a large amount in development costs and leapfrogged ahead of its original roadmap timelines. IonQ now expects to demonstrate networking between two quantum computers sometime this year.
