Abstract
A quantum system controller configured to perform (near) real-time quantum error correction is provided. The controller comprises a processing device comprising at least one first processing element; a time-indexed command (TIC) sequencer comprising at least one second processing element; and a plurality of driver controller elements configured to control the operation of respective components and associated with respective buffers and processing elements. The processing device is configured to generate commands and the TIC sequencer is configured to cause the time-indexed execution of the commands by the appropriate driver controller elements. The controlling of real-time operations of the quantum computer by the TIC sequencer enables the processing device to generate commands based on conditionals evaluated based on input data indicating quantum errors that are likely present in a quantum calculation being performed by the quantum computer such that commands addressing the quantum errors are generated and executed in (near) real-time.
