ORCA Computing: The route from NISQ processors to fault-tolerance

Photonics is a powerful platform for quantum computing that offers high clock rates and room-temperature guided-wave interconnects and circuits, without the need for electromagnetic shielding, high vacuum systems or atom trapping and cooling. But generating the entangled states needed for quantum computing with linear optics requires active multplexing, with detection followed by fast feedforward. I will describe ORCA’s approach to addressing this challenge, along with our roadmap to move from NISQ processors to fault-tolerant quantum computers.
