Title: Towards scalable multi-core quantum computing architectures: Quantum
Networks-On-Chip at rescue
Chairs: Eduard Alarcón (Technical University of Catalonia) and Carmen G.
Almudéver (Technical University of Valencia)
Format: Three talks and a panel
Abstract:
The field of quantum computing has experienced a remarkable progress in the last years with the
development of intermediate-scale quantum processors. Despite its tremendous potential, it is still
unclear how quantum computing systems will scale-up to satisfy the requirements of its most powerful
applications. At architectural level quantum multi-core architectures are a firm candidate to unlock
the scalability of quantum devices. Nevertheless, a key enabling aspect of these is the development
of quantum network on chips (NOCs) for the quantum-coherent communication links among cores. To this
purpose, in this workshop we are bringing in experts from the three required disciplines to address
this challenge namely: i) quantum computing architectures; ii) quantum communications and
networking; iii) state-of-the-art NOCs for conventional computers.
