Three UChicago CS papers advancing the field of quantum computing were recognized by the prestigious IEEE Micro Top Picks roundup of the best research from 2020 computer architecture conferences. The studies describe new methods for overcoming challenges in error correction and size constraints for the next wave of quantum computers, shortening the gap to practical and innovative uses of this exciting new technology.
A paper led by graduate students Casey Duckering and Jonathan Baker received the Top Pick designation from the journal, while two papers led by graduating PhD student Yongshan Ding were given honorable mention. All three studies come from the research group of Seymour Goodman Professor of Computer Science Fred Chong, the director of the NSF-funded Enabling Practical-scale Quantum Computation (EPiQC) expedition.
