About Us
Quantum Design has been active in Latin American since 1998. In 2010 the Latin America office was opened in Brazil to meet the needs of the sizable and growing research base using Quantum Design Equipment.
The office is fully operational where new features are continually being added to facilitate activities for researchers.
We are fortunate to be able to represent a very good line of other scientific instrumentation companies to service Latin America.

Artificial neural network syndrome decoding on IBM quantum processors Syndrome decoding is an integral but computationally demanding step in the implementation of quantum error correction for fault-tolerant quantum computing. Here, we report the development and benchmarking of Artificial Neural Network (ANN) decoding on IBM quantum processors. We demonstrate that ANNs can efficiently decode syndrome measurement data from heavy-hexagonal code architecture and apply appropriate corrections to facilitate error protection. The current physical error rates of IBM devices are above the code's threshold and restrict the scope of our ANN decoder for logical error rate suppression. However, our work confirms the applicability of ANN decoding methods of syndrome data retrieved from experimental devices and establishes machine learning as a promising pathway for quantum error correction when quantum devices with below threshold error rates become available in the near future.

Scientists discover way to 'grow' sub-nanometer sized transistors A research team led by Director Jo Moon-Ho of the Center for Van der Waals Quantum Solids within the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) has implemented a novel method to achieve epitaxial growth of 1D metallic materials with a width of less than 1 nm. The group applied this process to develop a new structure for 2D semiconductor logic circuits. Notably, they used the 1D metals as a gate electrode of the ultra-miniaturized transistor. Read More
