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 Computing At RPI

Accessing RPI's IBM Quantum System One

Members of the RPI community can access RPI's Quantum System One and IBM Quantum Cloud Resources through Single Sign-On at: https://go.rpi.edu/quantum-login.

If this is your first time logging in, you will be prompted to complete a form requesting access and agreeing to the terms of use. Full access to the quantum computer will be granted once the form is approved.

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.

Contact the QED team via email at qed-team@rpi.edu, or open a Trouble Ticket at itssc.rpi.edu
