Description
US-based memQ, a provider of quantum computing (QC) networking solutions, was selected by the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) as leader of a team to develop a QC hardware and network-aware compiler as part of DARPA’s newly announced Heterogeneous Architectures of Quantum (HARQ) program. HARQ has two distinct but complementary research workstreams: the Multi-qubit Optimized Software Architecture through Interconnected Compilation (MOSAIC), centered on developing software frameworks and circuit compilers that can optimize quantum algorithms’ performance and resources by using diverse qubit types, and the Quantum Shared Backbone (QSB), focused on the hardware challenge of creating high-fidelity interconnects that support communication between different types of qubits.
