NSF Workshop on Quantum Operating Systems
and Real-Time Control

SOSP2024 and MICRO2024

November 3, 2024 - Austin, Texas, USA

About the Workshop

Recent advancements in QC platforms have not only allowed a steady increase in the quantity and quality of qubits but also introduced new capabilities such as mid-circuit measurements and real-time error detection. The ability to access run-time information, such as error flags and mid-circuit measurement results, presents new opportunities for exploring algorithms and quantum error correction (QEC) protocols. As quantum hardware scales up and becomes increasingly heterogeneous and distributed, a quantum OS will be responsible for executing error-correcting kernels (e.g., decoders), allocating systems resources (e.g. entanglement, magic states, etc), managing shared quantum memory (e.g., storage, and qRAM), and scheduling batch/concurrent programs and applications. Quantum OS is the essential tool that guarantees to sustain precision control of large quantum systems and manage quantum resources for practical QC applications. This workshop aims to explore how the emerging quantum systems enable and expand novel Computer Systems Research (CSR) opportunities and promote cross-disciplinary collaborations.

This workshop is supported by the US National Science Foundation Award #2435033.


Submissions

Submissions of 2-page abstracts are solicited in the general area of quantum computer systems with a special focus on topics include, but not limited to:

  • novel algorithms and applications that will benefit from real-time feed-forward and error detection capabilities,
  • integration of QC with classical computation at different latency levels,
  • systems software for executing error-correcting kernels, allocating system resources, managing shared quantum memory, and scheduling batch and concurrent programs.
  • We welcome submissions of original research, previously published results, or works-in-progress. Accepted abstract will be distributed during the workshop and will be considered for a talk and/or poster presentation. Since the abstracts are not considered as proceedings in the ACM/IEEE digital libraries, they can be submitted to other venues without restrictions.



    Please follow the instructions below to prepare and submit your abstract. If you have any questions, please contact Florian Carle from the Yale Quantum Institute

  • Prepare a 2-page abstract in PDF format. References cited do not count towards the page limit.
  • Register and login to EasyChair at the link below
  • Enter author information fields and attach your PDF.
  • Submit by Friday October 4th.
  • Author Notification by October 8th.




  • Registration

    All in-person attendees are required to register through the SOSP conference (by selecting “Workshop only” or “Conference+Workshop” option). For Workshop Only, the fees are $350 for ACM members and $400 for non-members. Price will go up after the early registration deadline of October 11, 2024.

    Make sure to register for this workshop during the conference registration process.





    Travel Award and Accommodation

    The workshop is held at Hilton Austin hotel. The hotel has a conference special rate of $289/night available here.
    (space is limited, advance booking is encouraged).

    Through generous support from NSF, we will provide travel award for students to reduce a portion of their cost associated to attend the workshop. The size and number of awards will vary depending on availability of funding, the number of student applicants, and their respective priorities. Students must fill out the Travel Award Application form by October 11, 2024, and have your academic advisor send an email to Amy Badner (amy.badner@yale.edu) with the subject line: “[QuantumOS 2024] Student Status Confirmation” confirming that “The student [full name] is a full-time undergraduate/MS/PhD student interested in attending Quantum OS workshop.” Expenses will be reimbursed after the conference, and award recipients will be asked to submit original receipts to verify their expenditures. Reimbursable expenses are limited to conference registration, domestic air/ground travel, and hotel for attending the workshop only.
