NSF Workshop on Quantum Operating Systems and Real-Time Control

Events
November 3, 2024

Recent advancements in QC platforms have not only allowed a steady increase in the quantity and quality of qubits but also introduced new capabilities such as mid-circuit measurements and real-time error detection. The ability to access run-time information, such as error flags and mid-circuit measurement results, presents new opportunities for exploring algorithms and quantum error correction (QEC) protocols. As quantum hardware scales up and becomes increasingly heterogeneous and distributed, a quantum OS will be responsible for executing error-correcting kernels (e.g., decoders), allocating systems resources (e.g. entanglement, magic states, etc), managing shared quantum memory (e.g., storage, and qRAM), and scheduling batch/concurrent programs and applications. Quantum OS is the essential tool that guarantees to sustain precision control of large quantum systems and manage quantum resources for practical QC applications. This workshop aims to explore how the emerging quantum systems enable and expand novel Computer Systems Research (CSR) opportunities and promote cross-disciplinary collaborations.
