QodeX Quantum and US Navy Use 52-Qubit IBM Chip to Forecast Complex Fluid Flows
Quantum Computing Report ·
At a glance
A team including QodeX Quantum and US Navy researchers used a 52-qubit IBM quantum computer to predict complex flows. The method cut prediction error by 21% to 41% compared with classical approaches.
Key points
- The team used up to 52 qubits, the basic units of quantum computers, to calculate flows over irregular shapes.
- The quantum circuits ran for up to 24 times longer than the qubits' typical coherence time.
- On real quantum hardware, prediction error came out lower than the classical baseline.
- The study was also used to develop and test tools for QodeX Quantum's AI workflow platform.
Why it matters
The experiment shows whether quantum computers could quickly handle calculations of flow around complex shapes, such as air over aircraft wings or water around ships.
