CALL FOR PAPERS
==========================================================
The First Workshop on Parallel Quantum Computing (ParQ 2013) will be
held in conjunction with the 22nd International Conference on Parallel
Architectures and Compiler Techniques (PACT 2013) in Edinburgh,
United Kingdom on 8th of September 2013.
Quantum computing offers efficient solutions to some classically hard
computational problems like factorising integers or approximating the
Jones polynomial. If one day quantum computers could be built, then
just as in classical circuit design, we need to consider how operations
could be performed in parallel to protect the fragile qubit against
decoherence effect. The extent to which we can utilise parallelism in
quantum computers is still unknown. Some classical algorithms might
have more parallel quantum algorithms, or quantum computers could
be used to design parallel classical logic circuits. This workshop aims
to bring together scientists working on the parallel aspects of quantu
computing. The main topics of interest include parallel quantum
algorithms and quantum parallelisation algorithms, but also quantum
depth complexity and circuit optimisation. Topics of interest include,
but are not limited to:
– Parallel quantum algorithms
– Automated quantum parallelisation
– Optimising quantum circuits
– Quantum depth complexity
– Distributed quantum computing
– Quantum network codes
– Quantum parallel architecture
– Hybrid quantum and classical parallel systems
