Résumé
Current quantum hardware architectures are monolithic, and limited by the number of qubits. One potential way to scale (increase the number of qubits) is by distributing the quantum algorithm (circuit) on multiple nodes via networking the nodes together by optical interconnects. softwareQ is building a distributed quantum compiler and scheduler for optical-based quantum computers comprising of multiple nodes linked by optical interconnects. softwareQ is modelling and benchmarking such a system with high fidelity, for scheduling and compiling distributed quantum circuits, thus paving the way towards scalable quantum computation.

Description
Current quantum hardware architectures are monolithic, and limited by the number of qubits. One potential way to scale (increase the number of qubits) is by distributing the quantum algorithm (circuit) on multiple nodes via networking the nodes together by optical interconnects. softwareQ is building a distributed quantum compiler and scheduler for optical-based quantum computers comprising of multiple nodes linked by optical interconnects. softwareQ is modelling and benchmarking such a system with high fidelity, for scheduling and compiling distributed quantum circuits, thus paving the way towards scalable quantum computation.
Description (French)
Les architectures matérielles quantiques actuelles sont monolithiques et limitées par le nombre de qubits. Un moyen potentiel de passer à l’échelle (augmenter le nombre de qubits) est de distribuer l’algorithme quantique (circuit) sur plusieurs nœuds en mettant les nœuds en réseau par des interconnexions optiques. softwareQ construit un compilateur quantique distribué et un programmateur pour les ordinateurs quantiques à base optique comprenant plusieurs noyaux reliés par des interconnexions optiques. softwareQ modélise et évalue un tel système avec une grande fidélité, pour programmer et compiler des circuits quantiques distribués, ouvrant ainsi la voie à l’informatique quantique évolutive.
