SUMMARY:What Is the Role of Architecture and Software Researchers in Makin
 g Quantum Computing Practical?
DESCRIPTION:Margaret Martonosi (Princeton University)\n\nIn the past 3-5 y
 ears, Quantum Computing (QC) has reached an interesting and important infl
 ection point.  For decades, quantum computing research was comprised of ve
 ry abstract mathematical algorithms development “up high” that demonstrate
 d some potential for future impact, and physics device demonstrations “dow
 n low” that were modest in size but that offered some hope for eventual im
 plementations.  However, with prominent QC algorithms like Shor’s factorin
 g algorithm needing roughly a million times more physical quantum bits (qu
 bits) than successful implementations currently provide, there has been a 
 cavernous gap between algorithm and implementation.  What is needed now ar
 e computer scientists to develop the crucial intermediate tool flows, abst
 raction layers, and programming languages that will help quantum computing
  scale through the current so-called NISQ (noisy, intermediate-scale quant
 um) era. My talk will both (i) give details about our new approaches for o
 ptimal and near-optimal spatial-temporal placement of QC algorithms onto r
 eal systems, and (ii) more broadly advocate for the role that computer arc
 hitecture, compiler and programming languages researchers must play in ord
 er for QC to reach its full potential.\n\nRegistration Category: Tech Prog
