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.
