Tutorial Title: Quantum Cloud and Software Systems: Fundamentals and Practice.

Abstract: Quantum computing is moving toward practical use, yet today’s heterogeneous, noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) hardware and fragmented software stacks still complicate application deployment and resource management. This tutorial has two goals: first, to provide a brief overview of quantum computing fundamentals such as qubits, gates, and circuits, quantum cloud computing, and current constraints; second, to introduce software systems that support modeling, simulation, and practical deployment of applications in quantum computing environments to study quantum software workflows and resource management. We will conclude by outlining open problems and future directions for scalable quantum cloud software systems, resource orchestration, and distributed execution.

Biography: Hoa Nguyen is a Research Scientist in the Quantum Systems Team at CSIRO's Data61, where he develops quantum software systems for the Australian National Quantum Computing Testbed (NQCT). He completed his PhD at the qCLOUDS Lab at the University of Melbourne, focusing on serverless and reinforcement learning–based resource management for quantum cloud computing. He holds bachelor's and master's degrees in computer science from the University of Information Technology, Vietnam National University (UIT-HCM), and has over five years of university teaching experience in computer networks and cybersecurity in Vietnam and Australia. His research lies at the intersection of quantum software, artificial intelligence, and cloud computing, with a focus on AI-driven optimisation for quantum compilation and resource orchestration in distributed quantum-classical systems.
