Description

The Quantum ALU: An Exploration of Arithmetic Methods for Quantum Computers
(Session 8 of RIT in Quantum Information Science)
Speaker Name: Addison Hanrattie
Speaker Institution : UMD
 
At the heart of math, physics, and computing is Arithmetic, a field that has been around throughout all of human history. However, today quantum computers provide a completely new landscape for the field. The requirements of quantum systems means that many of the standard operations one would find on a classical ALU cannot be easily implemented on quantum circuits. In this talk, I will speak on some of the new ways programmers and researchers must think when implementing arithmetic operations on quantum computers. I will also explore how new ideas from Quantum Information Science like the QFT have led to new ways of doing arithmetic.
