Unitary Fund partners with IBM Quantum to provide hardware access to Unitary Fund awardees

Unitary Fund is pleased to announce IBM Quantum has granted special quantum computing access to the Unitary Fund community. Thanks to this partnership, recipients of a Unitary Fund micro-grant will receive the following benefits:

• A larger share of the queue on open IBM Quantum systems.
• Access to additional, non-open systems.
• The ability to book dedicated time on a system.

These benefits will spur further innovation in the quantum computing space, and directly enables Unitary Fund’s mission of helping create a quantum technology ecosystem that benefits the most people. We are particularly pleased to be able to extend these benefits to the explorers in quantum technology who do not have a formal academic affiliation.

Moreover, through this partnership, our technical team at Unitary Labs will further benchmark Mitiq, our open-source quantum error mitigating compiler, on real quantum hardware.

The Unitary Fund team would like to thank IBM Quantum for their support, in particular Sebastian Hassinger, IBM Quantum Research & Ecosystem Partnerships Lead.
