SUMMARY:CS Seminar: Modular Quantum Computing (Zain Saleem)
UID:648093@northwestern.edu
TZID:America/Chicago
DESCRIPTION:Monday / CS Seminar November 16 / 12:00 PM Hybrid / Mudd 3514  Speaker Zain Saleem\, Argonne National Laboratory  Talk Title Modular Quantum Computing  Abstract Connecting smaller quantum processors offers a path toward scalable quantum computing\, but requires efficient ways to divide computations\, communicate between modules\, and protect against errors. In this talk\, I will discuss our work on these challenges\, beginning with circuit cutting\, which reconstructs larger computations from smaller experiments\, and its applications to optimization and error mitigation. I will then explain how the sampling cost of circuit cutting motivates quantum links and examine the conditions under which these links can offer an advantage. Finally\, I will present approaches to distributed quantum error correction that concentrate protection at noisy interfaces and limit the spread of connection faults. These examples highlight how algorithms\, quantum communication\, and error correction can be designed together to make small quantum processors work as a larger system.  Biography Zain H. Saleem is a Scientist in the Mathematics and Computer Science Division at Argonne National Laboratory. His research focuses on distributed quantum computing\, quantum algorithms\, and quantum error correction\, with broader interests in quantum sensing and entanglement dynamics. He holds a master’s degree from the University of Cambridge and a Ph.D. in physics from the University of Pennsylvania\, where his doctoral research focused on black hole physics. Before joining Argonne\, he worked as a quantitative associate at Morgan Stanley.
