🚀 Introducing Riverlane’s Quantum Error Correction roadmap
We’ve set ourselves the goal of building the first prototype of a MegaQuOp-scale QEC Stack by the end of 2026. We are calling the final product Deltaflow Mega, with intermediate releases every year.
At a MegaQuOp (million error-free quantum operations), a quantum computer can run simulations that no supercomputer can.
Today's machines are capable of a few hundred QuOps.
⏩ Now: Deltaflow 1 - Fast decoding
In 2023, Riverlane released the first generation of its Quantum Error Correction Stack, Deltaflow 1, demonstrating that decoding can be scaled to an arbitrarily long sequence of gates [1].
⏰ 2024: Deltaflow 2 - Streaming, high-fidelity memory
We will extend the memory functionalities in time. Deltaflow 2 will support a streaming high-fidelity memory, i.e., a single logical qubit as a memory experiment in real time. Essentially, DF2 allows us to keep the qubits alive “forever”, meaning for as long we want.
💡2025: Deltaflow 3 – Streaming logic
Deltaflow 3 will support a broad set of operations belonging to the so-called Clifford gate set. It will support Clifford operations with a few (2-4) logical qubits, and up to 1,000 physical qubits.
📈2026: Deltaflow Mega – Logic at scale
Deltaflow Mega will constitute a significant milestone for the quantum computing industry. It will take the quantum industry into the realm of the first operations that cannot be efficiently classically simulated, by supporting non-Clifford logic and fast feedback for the first time.
🚀 Beyond 2027: Pushing to the GigaQuOp, then TeraQuOp
The MegaQuOp is a critical milestone, but it's just the first step on the journey to full fault tolerant quantum computing. Some projections estimate we’ll need a trillion error-free quantum operations (‘TeraQuOp’) and millions of physical qubits to unlock the higher value applications of quantum computing.
So, the fundamentals of Deltaflow are founded on scalable principles to take us there in the long run. As the ecosystem continues to pull together and quantum computers mature, so will Deltaflow.
For the next few years, we’ll sprint with our eyes firmly fixed one prize: building a Quantum Error Correction Stack capable of delivering a million error-free quantum operations across every major qubit platform. We’re already working with quantum computing’s top hardware companies to achieve this.
We hope you’ll join us on this exciting journey.
