Director of Thought Leadership, Quantum Engineering Solutions, Keysight Technologies Inc.
Former CEO and Chief Scientist at Quantum Benchmark Inc.
Professor of Applied Math at the Institute for Quantum Computing at the University of Waterloo
Joseph Emerson holds a PhD in theoretical physics and is widely recognized as a thought leader in quantum computing. He pioneered several industry-standard methods for quantum computing, such as Randomized Benchmarking, Cycle Benchmarking and Randomized Compiling. He founded and led the quantum computing startup Quantum Benchmark Inc which was recently acquired by Keysight Technologies. He is now acting as Director of Thought Leadership at Keysight Technologies and Professor of Applied Mathematics at the University of Waterloo’s Institute for Quantum Computing. He has published more than 60 academic papers and has personally supervised many of the key players in the quantum computing industry. His research continues to be focused on practical and efficient methods for error diagnostics and compiler-level error suppression and their application to optimize performance throughout all levels of the quantum computing stack.
Optimizing Quantum Performance: Exploring Practical and Efficient Error Solutions
Error diagnostic and error suppression capabilities are critical elements in the roadmap to practical and fault-tolerant quantum computing. In this talk Professor Emerson will give an overview of several leading strategies in this field. He will provide perspectives on the roadmap and challenges to achieving large scale quantum computing. He will also describe recent collaborative research between Keysight Technologies and Fujitsu demonstrating innovative approaches to overcoming errors on the path to practical quantum computing.
