Kipu Quantum – Shaping the Future of Quantum Algorithm Compression

Quantum computers promise to perform some computations exponentially faster: Computations that may take a classical computer 10,000 years may run within hours on a quantum computer. Yet, building universal quantum computers turned out to be notoriously difficult. Current noisy intermediate-scale quantum computers are limited by the number of processing units, so-called qubits, and by noise – every step in a quantum computation adds a little error that accumulates until no calculation results can be obtained anymore. This severely limits the number of steps one can perform. The startup Kipu Quantum found a way to compress quantum algorithms, i.e. to arrive at the same result with fewer steps.
