History repeats itself: today’s quantum computing is in its nascent sta ge\, where quantum circuit designs are carried out manually in an ad-hoc f ashion\, presenting a challenge to leverage the powerful quantum computers practically for applications. In response to this challenge\, it is imper ative for the development of a quantum analog to EDA --- Quantum Design Au tomation (QDA)\, such that it can provide a systematic and automated frame work for the design of quantum circuits\, marking a crucial step towards o vercoming the current impediments in the path to practical quantum computi ng. The difference between classical bits and quantum qubits --- binary vs . superposition\, independent vs. entanglement --- adds complexity to QDA development on conventional synthesis\, compilation\, and verification pro cesses. The inherent instability of quantum noise further compounds challe nges.\n\nIn this seminar\, I will provide our insights on three common que stions for quantum computing from the public: “how quantum computing dif fers from or is similar to classical computing”\, “what are the potent ial killer applications of quantum computing”\, and “what is the near- term and long-term future of quantum computing”. The keywords to quickly respond to these questions are dependability\, usability\, and scalabilit y\, which will be presented in detail in the seminar\, along with our rece nt QDA research conducted in these directions to achieve practical quantum computing for scientific applications.\n\nSpeaker Bio: Dr. Weiwen Jiang i s an Assistant Professor in the ECE department at George Mason University.
