The Quantum Software group at IQC

About

As a growing array of quantum technologies are developed, we will need “quantum software”. We’ll need software for the systems controlling the quantum hardware, and we’ll need software to be run on the quantum hardware.

The main focus of our quantum software group is to develop a range of tools for the synthesis and optimization of quantum software to be run on fault-tolerant quantum computing hardware. See stage 4 in Figure 1 of this nice survey by Devoret and Schoelkopf. Some of our tools may also be applied to physical layer gates.

This page overviews the activities of our group and points to tools that we have developed over the years.
