SUMMARY:What Is the Role of Architecture and Software Researchers in Makin
 g Quantum Computing Practical?
DESCRIPTION:Invited Talk\nTech Program Reg Pass, Exhibits Reg Pass\n\nWhat
  Is the Role of Architecture and Software Researchers in Making Quantum Co
 mputing Practical?\n\nMartonosi\n\nIn the past 3-5 years, Quantum Computin
 g (QC) has reached an interesting and important inflection point.  For dec
 ades, quantum computing research was comprised of very abstract mathematic
 al algorithms development “up high” that demonstrated some potential for f
 uture impact, and physics device demonstrations “down low” that were modes
 t in size but that offered some hope for eventual implementations.  Howeve
 r, with prominent QC algorithms like Shor’s factoring algorithm needing ro
 ughly a million times more physical quantum bits (qubits) than successful 
 implementations currently provide, there has been a cavernous gap between 
 algorithm and implementation.  What is needed now are computer scientists 
 to develop the crucial intermediate tool flows, abstraction layers, and pr
 ogramming languages that will help quantum computing scale through the cur
 rent so-called NISQ (noisy, intermediate-scale quantum) era. My talk will 
 both (i) give details about our new approaches for optimal and near-optima
 l spatial-temporal placement of QC algorithms onto real systems, and (ii) 
 more broadly advocate for the role that computer architecture, compiler an
 d programming languages researchers must play in order for QC to reach its
  full potential.
