Paris – August 6, 2025 – Scientists from Alice & Bob and Inria, France’s national institute for research in digital science and technology, have submitted a new study for peer review illustrating the most hardware-efficient method to date for producing magic states on superconducting quantum computers, a critical step toward realizing practical quantum computation. Preparing magic states […]
Quantum: Alice & Bob and Inria Report Efficiency Gains for Magic State Preparation
Characterizing Faults, Errors and Failures in Extreme-Scale Computing Systems
Christian Engelmann from ORNL gave this talk at PASC18. “Building a reliable supercomputer that achieves the expected performance within a given cost budget and providing efficiency and correctness during operation in the presence of faults, errors, and failures requires a full understanding of the resilience problem. The Catalog project develops a fault taxonomy, catalog and models that capture the observed and inferred conditions in current supercomputers and extrapolates this knowledge to future-generation systems. To date, the Catalog project has analyzed billions of node hours of system logs from supercomputers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Argonne National Laboratory. This talk provides an overview of our findings and lessons learned.”
