Title

Quantum for AI and AI for Quantum: Toward Future High-Performance Hybrid Computing

Location

Babbio Center 503

"Artificial intelligence (AI) and quantum computing offer two directions for designing hybridcomputational systems: quantum circuits can provide task-specific components within AI models,while AI methods can help determine how quantum circuits are initialized, trained, and compiled.Realizing this reciprocal relationship requires connecting the quality of a quantum component'scontribution to the resources needed to obtain it. This dissertation investigates that connectionthrough six studies organized around Quantum for AI and AI for Quantum, and develops a co-designframework for future high-performance hybrid computing."
