Topic: Quantum Computing Tool Chains: What will the Future Bring?
Summary :
History has shown that computing hardware advances have a tendency to out-distance the capabilities of software development environments, algorithms and existing tool chains. In this presentation we will have a quick look back at the early years of electronic computing. A brief overview of computer languages and compiler technology will follow. We will then sample the current state of Quantum Computing from a software developer's point of view. I will conclude with some possible future directions for QC tool chains and some thoughts on why it’s important for new QC ventures to keep an eye on them.

Speaker : Ron has been fortunate to have worked in a broad range of technical disciplines during his career. Some of these areas include digital hardware design, embedded CPUs, silicon functional architecture (VLSI), computer compiler development, image / live video processing and others. As a provider of medical software, he has implemented a Domain Specific Language (DSL) complete with a compiler, decompiler and tool chain. His work with tool chains included research into alternative, visual and graphical, code capturing paradigms. Additional projects led to Machine Learning (ML) and most recently Quantum Computing (QC) with an emphasis on QML and an interest in QC compilers, transpilers and their tool chains.​Outside of the technical arena, Ron is a licensed pilot, certified open water SCUBA diver, bicyclist, wood worker and a once in a while artist.
