Work in Progress

---

Open Quantum Design's (OQD) open-source quantum computing stack is developed collaboratively by the community on GitHub. This currently includes Python interfaces to program quantum computers at the digital, analog, and atomic layers, emulators to run quantum programs on classical hardware, and tools to build compiler passes.

To learn more about our stack, please see the technical documentation at docs.openquantumdesign.org. If you are interested in contributing, please get in touch, open an issue, or submit a pull request on GitHub.

OQD’s collaborative spaces on GitHub, called Working Groups, bring contributors together to work on projects or areas of interest within the open-source quantum computing community. Using repositories, issues, discussions, and pull requests to coordinate efforts and document progress, Working Groups are used in open-source communities to streamline contributions and provide a structured environment for problem-solving and innovation. Which Working Group will you contribute to?

The Mid Stack/Software Infrastructure Working Group focuses on developing the core software components that bridge quantum hardware with high-level user interfaces and applications. They work on creating efficient quantum compilers, optimizing the translation of high-level quantum algorithms into hardware-specific instructions, and developing tools for benchmarking and verification of quantum systems.

The Error Correction Working Group develops and implements error correction codes and mitigation strategies for quantum systems. They work on techniques to reduce the impact of noise, decoherence, and gate errors, improving the fidelity and reliability of quantum computations across various hardware platforms.

The Education and Outreach Working Group focuses on developing educational resources, outreach programs, and training materials to promote quantum computing literacy and skills development. This group aims to bridge the gap between complex quantum concepts and practical understanding, creating accessible content for various audiences. They also work on community engagement initiatives to foster a broader adoption of open-source quantum computing.

The AI for Quantum Computing Working Group explores the intersection of artificial intelligence and quantum computing. It focuses on developing AI and machine learning techniques for system optimization, characterization, and quantum algorithm development. The group aims to enhance overall quantum system performance and investigate novel approaches to quantum-classical hybrid algorithms.

The Quantum Simulation Working Group specializes in developing and optimizing advanced simulation models for ion trap quantum computing systems. The group's work spans from time-independent simulations to time-dependent master equation solvers, including decoherence effects and gate operations.

The Remote Access Interface Working Group is responsible for creating secure, user-friendly interfaces for remote experiment design and execution. It aims to enable broad access to the quantum computer, developing tools and protocols that allow researchers and developers to interact with the quantum system efficiently and effectively from anywhere in the world.
