Technology Innovation Institute Joins the Quantum Computing Challenge with Launch of Open-Source ‘Qibo’


Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates - (BUSINESS WIRE) - The Technology Innovation Institute (TII), the applied research pillar of the Advanced Technology Research Council (ATRC), announced today that its Quantum Research Center (QRC) has developed the first simulation version of 'Qibo', a versatile open- Source-Quantum computer programming framework in collaboration with researchers from around the world.

The development follows a series of quick announcements at TII since the first ATRC board meeting in August 2020.

TII strives to innovate for a better world. Developing an open source programming framework will have compelling benefits for the global research community.

Qibo supports quantum algorithms on a variety of computer systems, including support for hardware accelerators such as graphics processors (GPUs) and multiple quantum devices. This versatility makes Qibo easy to use for quantum programming and speeds research and applications. Qibo was written in programming languages ​​such as Python and C / C ++ and is the entry point for a full-stack programming platform that allows quantum algorithms to run on various quantum computers and simulators.

Qibo is a joint project of the Quantum Research Center. Qilimanjaro Quantum Tech, the Barcelona-based quantum computer company; and researchers at other global centers. The TII Quantum Research Center team is led by Chief Researcher Prof. José Ignacio Latorre. The first version of Qibo was released in September 2020. The final version should be published within the next two years.

Commenting on the announcement, His Excellency Faisal Al Bannai, Secretary General of the Advanced Technology Research Council (ATRC) said, “The fact that Qibo is open source will be a significant asset to the programming world and an important contribution to the research community and the world Promotion of scientific research. Initial benchmark studies showing that Qibo outperforms other computer languages ​​is a clear indication of the quality of the research currently being conducted at the Technology Innovation Institute's Quantum Research Center. "

Prof. José Ignacio Latorre, Chief Researcher at the Quantum Research Center, said: “We are committed to innovations that cross borders. The quantum advantage in computing will bring remarkable benefits to broader society, ranging from life sciences to artificial intelligence to finance. "

QRC is one of seven first research centers to be part of TII. The Qibo code published in the research report can be accessed via a GitHub link [https://qibo.science/].
