Dr. Alexandru Paler: A real-time and reliable operating system for quantum computers – Transilvania Quantum

Laboratorul de Inovare Digitala al Facultății de Matematică și Informatică din cadrul Centrului UBB de Industrii Creative susține organizarea unui eveniment remarcabil, menit sa promoveze un subiect cu totul special: calculatoarele cuantice.


The webinar will start at 19:00 (GMT+2) Thursday, March 25, 2021. It will be delivered as a zoom meeting. We will email you the link to the meeting after you complete the registration. We will also send you a reminder 1 or 2 days before the event.


We are excited to bring you an interesting presentation from Alexandru Paler Phd. Please register here: https://forms.gle/8jeQjHr8KgodpVsc9

There is a huge gap between the current quantum computers with hundreds of qubits and the million qubits required for practical applications. A path to scale up may involve a large supercomputer working together with quantum chips. A realistic approach could be to design and implement the control of Reliable Quantum Computers (RQCs) as a quantum operating system (QCOS), based on message passing, executed on supercomputers.

In this talk, Alexandru Paler will describe the methods and tools he’s been researching and developing for analyzing, compiling, optimizing, and executing error-corrected quantum computations. The medium-term goal is to use these tools during the execution of the first computations. He will detail the interactions existing in the Quantum Computer Operating System.

Alexandru Paler obtained his PhD from the University of Passau, Germany, and is with the Johannes Kepler University, Linz, Austria and the Transilvania University, Brasov, Romania. He was the PI of a Linz Institute of Technology project focusing on quantum computer control software, and was the recipient of the 2019, 2020 Google Faculty Research Awards. In 2020 he was the recipient of a Fulbright Senior Researcher fellowship, and was Visiting Researcher at University of Texas at Dallas. He was quantum computing practice program manager for Google Munich. He is the recipient of a best paper award and reviewed for various journals (APS, SpringerNature, IEEE, ACM, Elsevier) and was in the TPC of multiple conferences and workshops. He is active in the open source quantum software community. His research focuses on compiling and optimising large scale quantum circuits. Since 2019, he is the co-organizer and chair of the Quantum Resource Estimation Workshop organized at ISCA.
