The impact of hardware specifications on reaching quantum advantage in the fault tolerant regime
@article{Webber2022TheIO, title={The impact of hardware specifications on reaching quantum advantage in the fault tolerant regime}, author={Mark Webber and Vincent Elfving and Sebastian Weidt and Winfried Karl Hensinger}, journal={AVS Quantum Science}, year={2022} }
We investigate how hardware specifications can impact the final run time and the required number of physical qubits to achieve a quantum advantage in the fault tolerant regime. Within a particular time frame, both the code cycle time and the number of achievable physical qubits may vary by orders of magnitude between different quantum hardware designs. We start with logical resource requirements corresponding to a quantum advantage for a particular chemistry application, simulating the FeMo-co…
