Beyond NISQ: scalable quantum algorithms and architectures for practical quantum advantage
Abstract
Quantum computing has the potential to solve complex problems that are outside the scope of classical systems, making it a standard shifter. Current devices, which are considered as Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) systems, are insufficient in their practical utility due to hardware limitations, error rates, and qubit counts. The dynamic growths wanted to exceed the NISQ era and grow scalable quantum algorithms and architectures that can achieve useful quantum benefit in real-world applications are reviewed in this research. This research gives a comprehensive examination of the complications in scaling quantum systems, adjacent resource efficacy, qubit connectivity, and error correction. In addition to connecting architectural innovations like modular quantum computing, error-resilient circuit design, and distributed quantum systems, the paper provides new hybrid quantum-classical algorithms planned to exploit performance in noisy environments. Results from benchmarking in arenas like machine learning, optimization, and quantum chemistry show how these methods can provide short-term quantum benefit. Lastly, this paper proposes a research roadmap for quantum computing that highlights the requirement of co-designing algorithms, software, and hardware. The goal of this effort is to straighten the progress of quantum systems that can resolve problems in the real world at scale by addressing the inadequacies of NISQ devices and emphasizing scalable solutions.
