主题摘要

量子计算领域已经围绕着云模型迅速发展，在这个模型中，用户收到一个远程处理量子系统，为目标系统编译（转译）量子程序（电路），然后远程调用系统上的执行，然后从中获取结果。由于大多数供应商提供的云原生架构，人们对协调QPU以将量子计算机暴露给最终用户的软件和控制系统的洞察力很少。我们将对IBM量子公司的系统级量子计算栈进行概述。我们将高水平地介绍我们的控制系统计算机架构，以及我们如何使用它来协调实时动态电路量子程序。然后，我们将通过在生产环境中编译和执行量子程序。最后，我们将讨论在未来3-5年内我们在这一领域看到的挑战，因为我们正在努力实现IBM量子的路线图。

The field of quantum computing has rapidly developed around a cloud model, in which users receive a remote handle to a quantum system, compile (transpile) quantum programs (circuits) for the target system, and then remotely invoke an execution on the system from which they then fetch the results of. As a result of the cloud-native architecture most vendors provide, there is little insight into the software and control systems that orchestrate the QPU to expose a quantum computer to the end user. We will provide an overview of the systems-level quantum computing stack at IBM Quantum. We will introduce at a high-level our control system computer architecture and how we use it to orchestrate a real-time dynamic circuit quantum program. We will then walk through compiling and executing quantum programs in a production environment. Finally, we will discuss the challenges we see in the next 3-5 years in this domain as we work towards delivering on IBM Quantum’s roadmap.

关于讲者

Thomas Alexander是IBM量子公司的一名软件开发人员，该公司是量子系统和服务的市场领导者。在IBM，Thomas帮助设计和建立为量子计算机提供动态的控制电子的软件工具链–如建模和编译量子程序，生成代码，以及帮助架构量子控制系统。目前，Thomas正在领导一个跨学科的团队，为IBM的道路规划的量子系统提供软件定义的基础设施。在此之前，Thomas领导了为IBM量子客户提供Dynamic Circuit的能力和Qiskit Pulse的工作。Thomas喜欢为量子计算社区做出贡献，是Qiskit Terra和OpenQASM的核心贡献者。在加入IBM量子公司之前，Thomas在滑铁卢大学量子计算研究所研究量子计算，在那里他进行了固态核磁共振、NV中心的实验，并为实验设计系统开发了软件。

Thomas Alexander is a software developer at IBM Quantum, a market leader in quantum systems and services. At IBM, Thomas helps design and build the software toolchain for the control electronics that power a quantum computer – such as modeling and compiling quantum programs, generating code, and helping to architect the quantum control systems. Currently, Thomas is leading an interdisciplinary team to deliver software-defined infrastructure for IBM’s road-mapped quantum systems. Previously, Thomas led the effort to deliver dynamic circuit capabilities and Qiskit Pulse to IBM Quantum clients. Thomas enjoys contributing to the quantum computing community and has been a core contributor to Qiskit Terra & OpenQASM. Prior to joining IBM Quantum, Thomas studied quantum computing at the Institute for Quantum Computing at the University of Waterloo where he performed experiments in solid-state NMR, NV centers, and developed software for experiment design systems.
