Abstract: For several years, quantum computing has emerged as a very active field of research. It started first with the physics community, trying to understand the underlying quantum mechanical phenomena in quantum dots. And today, the field has grown to account for research efforts from physics, mathematics, chemistry, computer science to engineering domains. Companies, governments, and research institutions are driving innovation to bring their quantum computing technology online, even though the number of qubits is still relatively low. But plans for quantum computers with hundreds and evens thousands of qubits have recently been announced. Doubling performance every year is now the benchmark for quantum computers as designers look to the IC circuit community for new design and automation tools for scalability. The industry is asking practical questions; for example, how can the current IC industry support the roadmap of quantum research? Can IC design community and tools help to correct the errors of qubits or enable quantum error correction? These are also some of the questions that will be covered in this half day seminar.
The session will highlight the crossover research needs, challenges, and prospects of quantum computing, starting from a theoretical background, hardware development, and cryogenic electronics for measurements to EDA design tools to advance the roadmap of quantum computing to quantum algorithms and applications. The session will be followed by a panel discussion with industry leaders from IBM France, ATOS, and TOTAL to exchange on recent developments and vision for the quantum computing roadmap. Currently, impressive accomplishments have been achieved in building quantum chips based on superconducting circuits as qubits that are accessible to the large community via the cloud. But such circuits constitute only one possible platform for quantum computing. Significant efforts are also underway to enable CMOS-based quantum computing. Consequently, many IC design methods can be of direct interest to drive innovation on CMOS silicon qubits.
Audience & Scope: The session will showcase progress on Quantum Technologies from theoretical concepts, algorithms & applications to design methods and hardware development with speakers from both industry and academia. By bringing renowned experts from multidisciplinary communities in quantum computing, the special session will not only give the current research landscape but will also facilitate the exchange of ideas and promote collaborations between these communities.
