Very insightful! Could you share how many qubits you can use in your lab? I guess one need at least 3 qubits to run some interesting quantum algorithms?



As a matter of fact, we published just this year on a novel algorithm using just two qubits! The trick is that this algorithm is in some sense "generic" over arbitrary data structures, so we were able to claim victory by tackling the simplest possible case. It was still a challenge in practice, since it required a lot of sneaky tricks and record (to our knowledge) two-qubit gate fidelities.

We're also working with larger devices, but I'm not sure if I'm supposed to comment on those right now :)


Super interesting! Could you share the link to your 2 qubit algorithm paper? I'm also doing quantum research, bit on the hardware side, and really interested in knowing algorithm development.
