Quantum Computing for Computer Architects, Second Edition
Author: Tzvetan Metodi
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3031017315
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 192
Book Description
Quantum computers can (in theory) solve certain problems far faster than a classical computer running any known classical algorithm. While existing technologies for building quantum computers are in their infancy, it is not too early to consider their scalability and reliability in the context of the design of large-scale quantum computers. To architect such systems, one must understand what it takes to design and model a balanced, fault-tolerant quantum computer architecture. The goal of this lecture is to provide architectural abstractions for the design of a quantum computer and to explore the systems-level challenges in achieving scalable, fault-tolerant quantum computation. In this lecture, we provide an engineering-oriented introduction to quantum computation with an overview of the theory behind key quantum algorithms. Next, we look at architectural case studies based upon experimental data and future projections for quantum computation implemented using trapped ions. While we focus here on architectures targeted for realization using trapped ions, the techniques for quantum computer architecture design, quantum fault-tolerance, and compilation described in this lecture are applicable to many other physical technologies that may be viable candidates for building a large-scale quantum computing system. We also discuss general issues involved with programming a quantum computer as well as a discussion of work on quantum architectures based on quantum teleportation. Finally, we consider some of the open issues remaining in the design of quantum computers. Table of Contents: Introduction / Basic Elements for Quantum Computation / Key Quantum Algorithms / Building Reliable and Scalable Quantum Architectures / Simulation of Quantum Computation / Architectural Elements / Case Study: The Quantum Logic Array Architecture / Programming the Quantum Architecture / Using the QLA for Quantum Simulation: The Transverse Ising Model / Teleportation-Based Quantum Architectures / Concluding Remarks

High Performance Computing in Science and Engineering, Garching/Munich 2007
Author: Siegfried Wagner
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3540691820
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 700
Book Description
For the fourth time, the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre (LRZ) and the Com- tence Network for Technical, Scienti c High Performance Computing in Bavaria (KONWIHR) publishes the results from scienti c projects conducted on the c- puter systems HLRB I and II (High Performance Computer in Bavaria). This book reports the research carried out on the HLRB systems within the last three years and compiles the proceedings of the Third Joint HLRB and KONWIHR Result and Reviewing Workshop (3rd and 4th December 2007) in Garching. In 2000, HLRB I was the rst system in Europe that was capable of performing more than one Tera op/s or one billion oating point operations per second. In 2006 it was replaced by HLRB II. After a substantial upgrade it now achieves a peak performance of more than 62 Tera op/s. To install and operate this powerful system, LRZ had to move to its new facilities in Garching. However, the situation regarding the need for more computation cycles has not changed much since 2000. The demand for higher performance is still present, a trend that is likely to continue for the foreseeable future. Other resources like memory and disk space are currently in suf cient abundance on this new system.

Scientific Programming and Computer Architecture
Author: Divakar Viswanath
Publisher: MIT Press
ISBN: 0262036290
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 625
Book Description
A variety of programming models relevant to scientists explained, with an emphasis on how programming constructs map to parts of the computer. What makes computer programs fast or slow? To answer this question, we have to get behind the abstractions of programming languages and look at how a computer really works. This book examines and explains a variety of scientific programming models (programming models relevant to scientists) with an emphasis on how programming constructs map to different parts of the computer's architecture. Two themes emerge: program speed and program modularity. Throughout this book, the premise is to "get under the hood," and the discussion is tied to specific programs. The book digs into linkers, compilers, operating systems, and computer architecture to understand how the different parts of the computer interact with programs. It begins with a review of C/C++ and explanations of how libraries, linkers, and Makefiles work. Programming models covered include Pthreads, OpenMP, MPI, TCP/IP, and CUDA.The emphasis on how computers work leads the reader into computer architecture and occasionally into the operating system kernel. The operating system studied is Linux, the preferred platform for scientific computing. Linux is also open source, which allows users to peer into its inner workings. A brief appendix provides a useful table of machines used to time programs. The book's website (https://github.com/divakarvi/bk-spca) has all the programs described in the book as well as a link to the html text.

QUANTUM COMPUTING FOR BEGINNERS

ISBN: 8119534425
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 214
Book Description
The concept of a computer operating on the quantum level is unquestionably one of the most fascinating new breakthroughs at the leading edge of the computer industry and even of the scientific community as a whole. It has a really alluring sound to it, and it gives off the impression that good things are about to happen. Before we start going into the theories and principles of quantum computing, not to mention its mystery and the prospective uses of this technology, there are a few obvious and basic issues that need to be answered. These questions need to be posed. Why even consider the potential of quantum computing in the first place? There does not seem to be any hint of an impending change in the trajectory of this trend, which means that the development of conventional computers is still making substantial advance. In addition to this, the creation of quantum computers seems to be beset by a great deal of uncertainty and will almost likely result in enormous expenditures. This is true in each and every respect. In spite of this, there are at least four very good reasons to look into quantum computing in as much detail as is physically possible. The studys of quantum computing has a number of challenging obstacles. A issue that is not only exceedingly fundamental but also highly organic. In point of fact, the current level of our understanding indicates that the fundamental property of the physical world that we occupy is that of quantum mechanics. Each and every computer is a tangible piece of equipment, and each and every computation that is carried out is a physical operation. The investigation of the potentials, laws, and restrictions of quantum physics is thus a fundamental job, as well as our obligation, in order to carry out information processing and transmission. Even though this is something that is only rarely brought up in a clear manner, all conventional computers and models of computers, which are built on traditional physics; as a consequence, they are not entirely applicable. This is despite the fact that this is something that is only rarely brought up in a clear manner.
