Russian scientists are working on new algorithms for ion quantum computers. Their development will allow the use of such computers to solve economic problems. This was stated by Ilya Semerikov, a scientist of the Quantum Project, a researcher at the Lebedev Physical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences (FIAN).
I would like to build a computer with thousands or tens of thousands of qubits with a two-qubit operation reliability of 99.99%. Their combination with new quantum approximate optimization algorithms recently developed by our colleagues will allow us to solve the first economically important tasks faster than classical computers can.
One of the advantages of quantum computers is that their energy consumption does not increase with the addition of qubits up to a certain limit. This favorably distinguishes them from classical data processing centers, for which the construction of nuclear power plants is planned in Western countries. Russia has a chance to take a leading position in the field of quantum computers, but it is not yet clear on which platforms and algorithms quantum computing will be based.
While it is not obvious to us on what principles a scalable quantum computer should be built, in recent months it has become clear that it is not obvious what algorithms should be used on such a computer.
Ekaterina Solntseva, Director of Quantum Technologies at Rosatom, emphasized that test tasks of quantum optimization are already being solved in the nuclear industry. According to her, scientists are moving towards the formation of a quantum industry that will give a new quality to the economy and social sphere.
