Abstract
Quantum computing (QC) is a transformative technology with the potential to revolutionize computing. Despite major theoretical and experimental progress over the past three decades, a significant gap remains between the demands of quantum applications and the capabilities of current hardware. QC still faces major challenges in delivering accurate, efficient solutions to real-world problems. The quantum ecosystem is inherently hybrid, with quantum devices tightly coupled to classical hardware and software. Advancing these components in a synergistic manner is essential to bridging this need-capability gap and enabling a practical quantum future. As the field continues to grow, substantial progress is needed at the quantum-classical interface, including: (a) scalable software for executing real-world applications on noisy devices, (b) low-cost, efficient classical hardware with minimal latency and bandwidth limitations, and (c) a smooth transition path from noisy devices to fault-tolerant systems. In this talk, I will highlight several examples of our research addressing these challenges.
