Introduction

QSCOUT is the Quantum Scientific Computing Open User Testbed, a trapped-ion quantum computer testbed realized at Sandia National Laboratories on behalf of the Department of Energy’s Office of Science and its Advanced Scientific Computing Research (ASCR) program. As an open user testbed, QSCOUT provides the following to its users:

  • Transparency: Full implementation specifications of the underlying native trapped-ion quantum gates.
  • Extensibility: Pulse definitions can be programmed to generate custom trapped-ion gates.
  • Schedulability: Users have full control of sequential and parallel execution of quantum gates.
