Rigetti, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and University of Southern California Awarded a $...

The award was made by the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Fusion Energy Sciences (FES) for a three year program to simulate plasma dynamics associated with fusion energy on Rigetti’s cloud-based quantum computers. The project will also help advance Rigetti's quantum technology as it involves applying control pulse engineering and dynamic error suppression techniques to enable long duration simulations with high effective gate depth. It will leverage and help extend Rigetti's QUIL, Quil-T and other software programming libraries. QUIL is an open-source quantum instruction language for hybrid quantum-classical computing originally developed by Rigetti. Quil-T is its time-domain pulse programming extension. Additional information is available in a news release issued by Rigetti which can be viewed here.
