The AWS Center for Quantum Computing (CQC) is an interdisciplinary research organization established in December 2019 at Caltech by Amazon Web Services (AWS). The center brings together researchers and engineers to develop quantum computing technologies.[1][2][3] Notable members of the center include Oskar Painter, Fernando Brandão, John Preskill, Gil Refael, Amir Safavi-Naeini (laboratory for integrated nano-quantum systems[4], Stanford University), David Schuster (James Franck Institute, University of Chicago), Steve Flammia, Alex Retzker, Antia-Lamas Linares, and Liang Jiang.[5]
History[edit]
The CQC was announced at the AWS re:Invent conference on December 2, 2019 alongside the Amazon Braket service and Amazon Quantum Solutions Lab, marking the company's entry into quantum computing.[6][7]
Technology[edit]
The CQC conducts theoretical and experimental research into quantum information processing and nanomechanics.[8][9] In 2020, researchers at the CQC announced a proposal for building a fault-tolerant quantum computer.[10][11] The proposed design uses acoustic resonators coupled to superconducting circuits to produce so-called concatenated cat codes: cat qubits with a bias towards phase-flip errors concatenated with outer codes to suppress said phase-flip errors (repetition codes and surface codes are explored in the paper). This then enables magic state distillation to produce low qubit overhead fault-tolerant Toffoli gates.
