Still like to MOVE it, MOVE it with IQM
I love how IQM moves them qubits….
I don’t like to repeat themes, but this is a follow-on to “I like to MOVE it, MOVE it with IQM Deneb” and there’s still no better title… especially if you get to see the CCTV recording from IQM’s laboratory. Just before the Easter holiday, The Quantum Dragon heard about IQM Sirius. Knowing everyone would be gone, he snuck in over the weekend and tried out the new pulse control features.
That’s right: IQM Sirius has two major upgrades over IQM Deneb. First, it has 16 qubits instead of 6. They both use a central resonator to arrange their qubits into star topologies, which enable all-to-all connectivity. The command to use the central resonator is MOVE, hence the catchy title of both articles. Second, IQM Sirius adds pulse control.
Workout Routine
The Quantum Dragon found five Jupyter notebooks lying around on the benches. He uploaded them to Google Colab and proceeded to do the following exercises in the following sequence:
- T1 time
- Readout of qubits
- T2 time
