QUARREFOUR - Benchmarking Multi-core Quantum Computing Systems

量子计算（QC）将通过解决多个科学领域的棘手问题来提供社会效益。这个项目的动机是解决行业最大的挑战：扩展。人们越来越认识到，只有将多个QC节点联网到一个更大（数据中心规模）、更高性能和更好的纠错计算服务中，才能提供_useful_ QC。我们迫切需要为QC的有效网络构建和提供解决方案-光子网络是最有前途的路线，与所有量子比特类型相关。在这个项目中，我们将通过对分布式QC的性能建模，开发基准测试协议，以及审查和改进影响性能的逻辑过程来应对绘制分布式QC（DistQC）路径的挑战。

Quantum Computing (QC) will offer societal benefits through solving intractable problems across multiple scientific domains. The motivation for this project is to tackle the industry's biggest challenge: scaling.It is increasingly recognised that _useful_ QC can only be delivered by networking together multiple QC nodes into a larger (data-centre-scale), more performant and better Error-Corrected computing service. There is an urgent business need to architect and deliver a solution for effective networking of QCs - photonic networking being the most promising route, relevant to all qubit types.In this project, we will respond to the challenge of charting a path towards Distributed QC (DistQC) by modelling the performance of a Distributed QC, developing benchmarking protocols, and reviewing and refining the logical process that affect performance.
