ULL EVENT: Compiling for Trapped Ion Quantum Computers
We are in the nascent stage of creating quantum computers, analogous to creating classical computers in the 1940s and 1950s. Quantum computers have the possibility of having major implications for algorithms in scientific computing, economics, and computer security. Many novel quantum computer architectures abound, including trapped ion computing, which will be introduced along with the basic ways quantum programs are written. After this introduction, the problem of compiling quantum programs for a simple trapped ion device will be presented. In particular, the problem of optimally moving ions around a trap will be focused on.

Dr. Pete Campora of Quantinuum
Compiling for Trapped Ion Quantum Computers
Biography:
Dr. Pete Campora graduated with PhD from ULL in 2021 under the supervision of Dr. Sheng Chen. During his PhD, he researched on gradually typed programming languages, and post PhD he joined Quantinuum to work on compilers for trapped ion quantum computers. He is the team lead for the hardware compilation section of the company’s software teams.
PDH Certificate will be issued for those attendees meeting the 50 minutes requirement.
