DescriptionQuantum Computing promises to tackle computations which are intractable for today’s supercomputers. Among the expected beneficiaries: numerical analysis, artificial intelligence, chemistry... Though, most of the known quantum algorithms underlying these applications require *perfect* qubits. That is fully connected, unlimited coherence time, perfect fidelity. Designing such ideal qubits is a tremendous challenge for Science and Technology, and could require a decade or more. In the meantime, the “NISQ” era (Noisy-Intermediate-Scale-Quantum) is coming, with devices with 100+ *imperfect* qubits. To take the most of these intermediate hardwares, brand new algorithms must be invented, as noise-tolerant and resource-efficient as possible. Numerical modeling and simulation of these imperfect qubits can provide an invaluable tool to take on this NISQ challenge. The Atos Quantum Learning Machine (QLM) embeds the state of the art of these techniques. I will introduce, and live-demo them during the talk, on a real and self-illustrating use case.
