From queues to qubits: Compiling classical code to quantum for quantum processors
TITLE: Abstracting Quantum Computation
SPEAKER: Dr Joe Fitzsimons
AFFILIATION: Horizon Quantum Computing, Singapore
HOSTED BY: Prof Michael Bremner, UTS Centre for Quantum Software and Information
ABSTRACT:
Quantum computers have the potential to drastically outperform conventional computers for a variety of tasks. However, writing programs which take advantage of interference between computational branches is a daunting task for most.
In this talk I will introduce some of the work we have been doing at Horizon Quantum Computing to simplify the task of programming quantum processors through increasing levels of abstraction, and discuss progress towards our goal of compiling classical code to take advantage of quantum processors, through automated synthesis of quantum algorithms.
