Superconducting Quantum Computing System

Session: Disruptive Technology Exhibits

Event Type: Disruptive Technology Exhibit

Time: 7:00pm - 9:00pm

Author(s): Geordie Rose

Location: Exhibit Hall 1B

Abstract:
We wish to showcase our superconducting quantum computing system, which we believe is a paradigm-changing approach to HPC. Code-named Orion, our current system is designed to solve combinatorial optimization problems using superconducting analog quantum computer processors. These processors—the first of their kind—can, at modest levels of integration, be used to solve problems beyond the scope of traditional HPC systems. In addition, these processors can in principle be operated reversibly—without generation of heat—and in practice are projected to reduce power consumption for solution of hard problems by many orders of magnitude over commodity cluster solutions. Our intent for Supercomputing 2007 is to allow conference attendees to program and use an Orion system directly from our booth.
