R. G. Herb Condensed Matter Seminar
Quantum Resource Estimations for future quantum hardware
Date: Thursday, June 19th
Time: 10:00 am
Place: 5310 Chamberlin
Speaker: Katerina Gratsea, UW-Madison
Abstract: Recent experimental demonstrations of fault-tolerant quantum computing (FTQC) primitives indicate that the quantum computing field is transitioning from the noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) era to the FTQC era. Achieving FTQC is a highly complex challenge, involving multiple computational layers with various design choices at each level. To better understand this transition and the capabilities of future quantum hardware, Quantum Resource Estimations (QRE) serve as an essential tool. QRE can provide insights
into how advancements at different layers impact the overall computational runtime.

In this talk, I will explore the role of early FTQC as an intermediate regime between NISQ and FTQC through the lens of QRE. I will also present ongoing work that highlights runtime estimates for future quantum hardware and demonstrates how QRE plays a crucial
role in guiding research and development efforts toward realizing practical quantum computers.
