Quantum Computers are expensive to build, take time to run, and are prone to noise and faults which reduce qubit reliability. Quantum software programmers can benefit from ways to validate whether or not quantum programs behave as expected without running or simulating a full program. This talk will present the Quantum State Preparation Program Validation Framework (QSV), a framework that uses property-based testing to validate whether or not quantum programs meet user-specified properties.

Validating Quantum State Preparation Programs

Abstract: Quantum Computers are expensive to build, take time to run, and are prone to noise and faults which reduce qubit reliability. Quantum software programmers can benefit from ways to validate whether or not quantum programs behave as expected without running or simulating a full program. This talk will present the Quantum State Preparation Program Validation Framework (QSV), a framework that uses property-based testing to validate whether or not quantum programs meet user-specified properties.

Biography:

Anshu Sharma is a 5th-year Computer Science PhD student at William & Mary who is also working as a software developer in Arlington Virgina. His research for graduate school is focused on formal methods, especially as applied to quantum computing. He will present the paper https://arxiv.org/abs/2501.05616 at the ESOP conference this April. He graduated from Randolph-Macon College in 2021 with majors in Physics and Latin.
