DESCRIPTION:By : Fred Chong\nSeymour Goodman Professor of Computer Archite
 cture\nDepartment of Computer Science\nUniversity of ChicagoAbstract :\nRe
 cent announcements by IBM\, Google\, and Dwave reflect a growing interest 
 in quantum computation.  More than ever\, computer scientists have the op
 portunity to help accelerate the evolution of quantum technologies towards
  practical\, large-scale systems.  The key is to formulate the challenges
  that allows us to draw on decades of experience designing classical compu
 ter systems and software.\nIn this talk\, I will present some lessons lear
 ned and future research directions in the design of architectures and soft
 ware for scalable quantum computation.  First\, I will discuss early work
  specializing architectures for application parallelism\, reliability\, an
 d speed requirements.  Second\, I will present a dynamic code generation 
 approach for arbitrary quantum rotations. Third\, I will discuss scalabili
 ty challenges in the Scaffold infrastructure for compiling quantum program
 s.  Finally\, I will outline future work in program verification\, certif
 ied compilation\, and error correction with surface codes.Bio :\nFred Chon
 g is the Seymour Goodman Professor of Computer Architecture in the Departm
 ent of Computer Science at the University of Chicago. Chong received his P
 h.D. from MIT in 1996 and was a faculty member and Chancellor's fellow at 
 UC Davis from 1997-2005. He was also a Professor of Computer Science\, Dir
 ector of Computer Engineering\, and Director of the Greenscale Center for 
 Energy-Efficient Computing at UCSB from 2005-2015. He is a recipient of th
 e NSF CAREER award\, the DARPATech Most Significant Technical Achievement 
 Award\, and 5 best paper awards. His research interests include emerging t
 echnologies for\ncomputing\, multicore and embedded architectures\, comput
 er security\, and sustainable computing. Prof. Chong has been funded by NS
 F\, Google\, LANL\, AFOSR\, IARPA\, DARPA\, Mitsubishi\, Altera and Xilinx
 . He has led or co-led over $20M in awarded research\, and been co-PI on a
 n additional $10M.More information
