C12 Partners with QC Design to Utilize Plaquette for Advancing Carbon Nanotube Quantum Computing
C12, a Paris-based quantum computing firm, has adopted QC Design's Plaquette software to enhance its development of a fault-tolerant quantum architecture using carbon nanotubes. Plaquette will help C12 simulate and optimize designs under realistic noise conditions, enabling benchmarking of quantum error-correcting codes. This collaboration aims to refine C12's unique approach, which utilizes isotopically purified carbon-12 nanotubes to achieve significantly improved coherence times for spin qubits, thereby advancing towards practical fault tolerance in quantum computing.

C12 has partnered with QC Design to adopt the Plaquette software, aimed at accelerating the development of its fault-tolerant quantum computing architecture based on carbon nanotubes. Plaquette facilitates the simulation and optimization of fault-tolerant designs under realistic noise models, enabling C12 to benchmark quantum error-correcting codes.
By utilizing isotopically purified carbon-12 nanotubes, C12's architecture achieves coherence times significantly larger than previous carbon-based quantum circuits. The integration of Plaquette allows for the evaluation of hardware imperfections on logical qubit performance and the comparison of various error correction strategies as C12 scales its quantum processors.
