MonarQ is a 12-qubit superconducting quantum computer manufactured by [https://anyonsys.com/ Anyon Systems] and situated at the [http://www.etsmtl.ca/ École de technologie supérieure] in Montreal. The cluster is named after the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monarch_butterfly monarch butterfly], which is one of the largest migratory butterflies in Quebec. MonarQ is the first quantum computer to be made publicly available to Canadian researchers.

   

Quantum computers exploit quantum mechanics by means of qubits to solve complex problems that would be too time consuming for a classical computer. Quantum algorithm (software) development on MonarQ involves code libraries that manipulate light pulses within the processing unit to modify the state of qubits, as well as the entanglement of multiple qubits. MonarQ employs Snowflake, a Julia-based library, and CirQ, a python-based library, to manipulate the 12-qubit processing unit by means of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_logic_gate quantum gates]. A series of quantum gates comprise a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_circuit quantum circuit or algorithm]. Generally, a quantum circuit is a small portion of a larger calculation or simulation written in classical Julia or Python code. The job submission to MonarQ will therefore be handled directly from with the classical code. For development and testing purposes, both Snowflake and CirQ include a quantum simulator to emulate the performance and results that would be obtained on a general quantum computer such as MonarQ.
