Versatile NISQ processors
William J. Munro · 2023
Today’s noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) era processors have reached an interesting stage in their development where over 50 qubits are routinely available for us. Traditionally these processors have used the gate-based model of quantum computation, however other useful models including quantum walks and analog approaches can be used. As we want versatility for our processors, we will show how they can be used to implement multi photon quantum walks as well digital-analog models for quantum discrimination. In particular we will introduce a model called quantum neural sensing where one can distinguish different states of matter with the measurement of only one qubit.
