IBM Research Africa Quantum Meetup: Quantum Computer Emulator on Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) Processor

Join us for an exciting session exploring how classical hardware can be used to emulate quantum computing operations. This talk will dive into a project that models key quantum subsystems, such as Qubit Initialization, Flying Qubit Detection, and Quantum Algorithm Emulation—on Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), with a special focus on implementing the Quantum Fourier Transform (QFT) and hardware constraints.
You’ll learn how logic units (LUTs) and digital signal processing blocks (DSP slices) are leveraged to simulate quantum algorithms, and how constraints like the no-cloning theorem are addressed using protocols like quantum teleportation. The work bridges quantum principles and hardware implementation, offering practical insights for both classical engineers and quantum researchers.
