QPU Challenges in TII's Quantum Research

TII's quantum research journey has been complex. High-performance QPUs are critical for building quantum computers and developing quantum algorithms.

Superconducting QPUs, known for executing complex computational tasks efficiently, are indispensable for advancing quantum research. However, stringent requirements for QPU performance and the need for in-house precision manufacturing capabilities have posed significant challenges for TII.

Initially, TII faced hurdles in sourcing superconducting QPUs. The limited availability of standardized superconducting QPUs on the market and high prices significantly increased research costs.

Furthermore, at that time, superconducting quantum chip suppliers in Europe and the United States rarely provided key parameter calibration services. This meant that TII could not verify whether the performance of the purchased QPUs met the expected standards.

Consequently, quantum computing research timelines were extended, and valuable research resources were at risk of being wasted due to subpar chip performance.

Additionally, with the increasing demand for QPUs with higher qubit counts, TII found that acquiring small-qubit QPUs for short-term research would not have been more cost-effective or scalable. These issues have become substantial barriers to the flexibility and sustainability of their quantum research programs.
