Pooya Ronagh: Title: Resource Estimators of Today, Quantum Operating Systems of Tomorrow
Abstract: At the utility scale, where computations may run for hours, days, or weeks, protecting the fragile quantum state of the computer, neither clonable nor storable, poses significant algorithmic and software engineering challenges. A fault-tolerant quantum operating system (OS) must precisely characterize the impact of errors—which may drift within a single execution cycle—and use this information to automate the execution of quantum programs with guaranteed, user-defined fidelities. Therefore, the quantum OS must run on an HPC platform and orchestrate characterization, calibration, and error correction subroutines within a tightly integrated execution environment. In this talk, we identify the main requirements for a high-performance quantum OS and examine the classical computing bottlenecks in the fault-tolerant compilation and execution of utility-scale applications. We then propose an integrated HPC-QC architecture, developed in collaboration with HPE and Quantum Machines, to eliminate classical computing barriers to fast execution. Finally, we highlight the timeliness of these developments, noting that careful bookkeeping of compilation and job schedules has already produced 1QBit’s TopQAD, a commercial quantum resource estimator enabling both software and hardware engineers to use quantum utility itself as the benchmark for assessing design decisions.
