Quantum computing offers a powerful advantage by being much faster and more accurate than traditional computers for certain tasks. While classical computers can improve performance by adding more hardware, they struggle with some problems that become much harder as the input size grows. In these cases, they need a huge increase in time and memory. Quantum computers, however, handle these tasks far more efficiently, requiring fewer extra resources as the input grows. This makes them ideal for solving complex problems on a much larger scale.

Quantum At RPI

RPI community members can request access to use our IBM Quantum System One

Quantum Enablement and Development (QED) 

Quantum Enablement and Development (QED) is a consulting group that facilitates access to RPI's quantum computer for both students and researchers. We provide support for class-based learning, research projects, and hands-on experience with quantum technology. In addition to offering access, QED also evaluates quantum programming software, develops libraries of quantum computing functions, and helps users maximize the potential of this cutting-edge resource.
