Topic: TKET: Quantinuum's Advanced Quantum SDK for the NISQ Era
Time: Jan 14 Saturday 13:00 - 15:00 EST

Abstract
TKET is a fully open-source (https://github.com/CQCL/tket) software platform written in C++ and Python for developing and executing gate-level quantum computation. It automatically handles many of the intricacies of NISQ technology. For example, TKET provides state-of-the-art circuit compilation and optimization performance, facilitating platform-agnostic software development and allowing code reuse. In this presentation, I will provide a comprehensive, feature-focused tour of pytket, the Python module for interfacing with TKET, and discuss methods for circuit construction, optimization, mapping, and routing circuits onto target devices. Additionally, I will discuss TKET’s extension modules for interfacing with other hardware and software modules and present resources regarding how to develop your own if interested.

Speaker:
Dr. Kathrin Spendier is a Quantum Evangelist at Quantinuum focusing on TKET. She received her BS in Physics and Applied Mathematics with honors and her Ph.D. in Physics with distinction from the University of New Mexico. After a year as Research Associate, she joined the University of Colorado Colorado Springs (UCCS) as a tenure-track faculty in Physics. She earned tenure at UCCS by researching biophysical phenomena using super-resolution microscopy techniques and condensed matter physics. She developed and taught over ten different physics undergraduate and graduate courses. After joining Quantinuum, she remains an Associate Professor with a research affiliation at UCCS.
