Abstract

Described herein are methods and systems for controlling an integrated optics control system for quantum computing using a quantum bios chip. A quantum bios chip, comprising one or more qubit connection geometries and one or more error correction codes associated with the qubit connection geometries, receives instructions associated with a quantum computing application. The quantum bios chip configures one or more switching elements of an integrated optics control system coupled to the quantum bios chip, the switching elements controlling entanglement of one or more qubits of a quantum computer and the switching elements configured based upon a selected one of the one or more qubit connection geometries and one of the one or more error correction codes that is compatible with the selected one of the one or more qubit connection geometries.
