Alice & Bob has introduced Felis 1.0, a groundbreaking logical qubit emulator designed to aid the transition from noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) devices to fault-tolerant quantum computing. Built on IBM’s Qiskit framework, Felis offers tools for developers to adapt algorithms for logical qubits and optimize them for fault-tolerant quantum computers, specifically leveraging Alice & Bob’s cat qubit architecture.
Key Features:
- Logical Qubit Emulation: Felis enables users to explore and experiment with fault-tolerant quantum algorithms, preparing for practical use cases.
- Cat-Qubit Specific Tools: Supports Alice & Bob’s proprietary cat qubits, which significantly reduce error correction overhead.
- Compatibility with Qiskit 1.2: Provides faster compilation and enhanced emulation.
- Integration with Classiq: Developers can use Classiq’s synthesis engine alongside Felis to optimize circuits and assess their noise sensitivity.
- Resource Estimation: A forthcoming feature will project qubit and resource requirements for large-scale quantum circuits.
Felis is available via Alice & Bob’s GitHub and integrated with Classiq’s platform. This initiative supports Alice & Bob’s broader goal of developing universal fault-tolerant quantum computers, claiming to reduce hardware requirements by up to 200 times compared to other approaches.
