MonarQ is a 24-qubit superconducting quantum computer developed in Montreal by Anyon Systems and located at the École de technologie supérieure. Its name refers to the monarch butterfly, a symbol of evolution and migration. The capital Q refers to the quantum nature of the computer and to its origins in Quebec. Acquisition of MonarQ was made possible thanks to the support of the Ministère de l'Économie, de l'Innovation et de l'Énergie du Québec (MEIE) and Canada Economic Development (CED).
Technical specifications
The exact technical details will be available at the beginning of 2025, but the specifications should be at least as good as the following:
- 24-qubit quantum processor
- Single-qubit gate: 99.8% fidelity, gate duration: 15ns
- Single-qubit gate, parallel: 99.7% fidelity, gate duration: 15ns
- Two-qubit gate: 95.6% fidelity, gate duration: 35ns
- Coherence time: 4-10μs depending on the state
The exact number of qubits that can be connected and manipulated at the same time, as well as the corresponding fidelities, gate durations, and coherence times, will be available once MonarQ is tested by our team. We will also have results on how it works and performs with various algorithms.
Applications
MonarQ is suited for computations requiring small quantities of high-fidelity qubits, making it an ideal tool to develop and test quantum algorithms. Other possible applications include modelling small quantum systems, testing new methods and techniques for quantum programming and error correction, and more generally, fundamental research in quantum computing.
Quantum computing software
There are several specialized software libraries for quantum computing and the development of quantum algorithms. These libraries allow you to build circuits that are executed on simulators that mimic the performance and results obtained on a quantum computer such as MonarQ. They can be used on all Alliance clusters.
- PennyLane, Python command library
- Snowflurry, Julia command library
- Qiskit, Python command library
The quantum logic gates of the MonarQ processor are called through a Snowflurry software library written in Julia. Although MonarQ is natively compatible with Snowflurry, there is a PennyLane-Snowflurry plugin developed by Calcul Québec that allows you to execute circuits on MonarQ while benefiting from the features and development environment offered by PennyLane.
Getting started with MonarQ
- You must have an account with the Alliance in order to request access to MonarQ (winter 2025).
- Accept the terms of use.
- Configure pricing.
- Receive a token and access to MonarQ.
- Submit tasks with an access token and gateway address to MonarQ.
