Compiler and language design for quantum computing (keynote)

Abstract

Quantum computing, once merely a curious concept discussed within the field of theoretical physics, has long-since become of practical interest in numerous fields and caught the attention of mainstream media. The reason for the widespread interest stems from the tremendous impact it could have on today’s technology. Quantum computing could revolutionize how we develop new materials, how we approach machine learning and optimization tasks, and provide answers to some of the most intriguing questions in physics, chemistry and biology.
