Abstract

Abstract: In this talk, I will present recent progress on quantum signal processing (QSP) algorithms on hybrid continuous-discrete-variable (CV-DV) quantum processors, and highlight its potential to serve as a universal framework to design modular quantum software systems. I will start by introducing instruction set architecture on hybrid quantum processors. Quantum state transfer and quantum Fourier transform will follow as an example to illustrate the application. I will conclude with open problems and future opportunities towards building modular quantum software systems based on QSP.
