In the previous post, we have sketched the basic ideas behind NMR based quantum computation. In this post, we will discuss single qubits and single qubit operations in more depth. The rotating frame of reference In NMR based quantum computing, quantum gates are realized by applying oscillating magnetic fields to our probe. As an oscillating … Continue reading Single qubit NMR based quantum computation
In the last posts, we have seen how we can set up a Kubernetes cluster on Amazons EKS platform and spin up our first nodes. Today, we will create our first workloads and see pods and deployments in action. Creating pods We have already introduces pods in an earlier post as the smallest units that … Continue reading Kubernetes 101 – creating pods and deployments
The theoretical foundations of universal quantum computing were essentially developed in the nineties of the last century, when the first native quantum algorithms and quantum error correction were discovered. Since then, physicists and computer scientists have been working on physical implementations of quantum computing. One of the first options that moved into the focus was … Continue reading Bulk quantum computing with nuclear spin systems
In the last post, we have seen how Python can be used to control the generation of an EKS cluster. However, an EKS cluster without any worker nodes - and hence without the ability to start pods and services - is of very limited use. Today, we therefore take a look at the process of … Continue reading Python up an EKS cluster – part II
In my previous post on quantum error correction, we have looked at the toric code which is designed for a rather theoretical case - a grid of qubits on a torus. In reality, qubits are more likely to be arranged in a planar geometry. Luckily, a version of the toric codes that works well in … Continue reading Quantum error correction: the surface code
When you want to try out Kubernetes, you have several choices. You can install Kubernetes in a cluster, install it locally using Minikube, or use one of the Kubernets offerings of the major cloud providers like AWS, GCP or Azure. In this post, we set up a Kubernetes cluster on Amazons EKS platform. As I … Continue reading Python up an EKS cluster – part I
