Title: Full-stack quantum computing for quantum advantage

Speaker: Dr. Thinh Le, University of Technology Sydney

Abstract of Talk: Quantum computing promises superior advantage compared to classical computing in specific instances. Identifying these instances is currently an active topic of research encapsulating a wide variety of disciplines such as quantum algorithm, complexity theory, compilation, resource estimation, hardware and architecture design. In this talk, I will overview the complete stack of quantum computing from algorithms to hardwares, then detail the design of a compilation and resource computation software platform at QSI UTS. Our platform is built on the concept of quantum algorithm on graph state in the style of measurement-based quantum computation. Various levels of optimisation in our compilation pipeline allow to minimise resources such as space, time or spacetime volume leading to efficient execution of quantum algorithms. Our software can be used to help identify quantum advantages and efficient hardware architecture designs.

Profile of Speaker: Dr. Thinh Le is a postdoctoral researcher at the Centre for Quantum Software and Information at University of Technology Sydney. He earned his Ph.D. in Physics from National University of Singapore with a dissertation on quantum cryptography and Bell nonlocality. His research expertise explores and clarifies the interface between theoretical descriptions and empirical data, which is the foundation of many quantum technologies. He is known for the classification of quantum correlations in the minimal scenario and falsifying real quantum theory. His current research interest explores high dimensional tasks and corresponding quantum structures in both quantum communication and quantum computing applications.
