Title: Quantum and Classical Algorithms and Optimizations Enabling
Practical Quantum Computation
Abstract:
Quantum and classical algorithmic and architectural design is
fundamental to enabling the construction of useful near-term and fault
tolerant quantum computers. This thesis demonstrates that careful
design of error correcting architectures and protocols can
significantly reduce the barriers and overheads of constructing
error-corrected fault tolerant machines. Additionally, careful design
of algorithmic and information theoretic methods to encode classical
data into quantum computers results in more efficient algorithm
execution, a necessity in both the near-term and fault tolerant
regimes. Altogether, this work designs and evaluates techniques that
help to enable useful quantum computation in the near-term, and seeks
to bring fault-tolerant quantum computation closer to reality.
Adam's advisor is Prof. Frederic Chong
