Quantum Operating Systems
Authors: H. Corrigan-Gibbs, D. Wu, and D. Boneh
Abstract:
If large-scale quantum computers become commonplace,
the operating system will have to provide new abstractions
to capture the power of this bizarre new hardware.
In this paper, we consider the systems-level issues that quantum
computers would raise, and we demonstrate that these machines would offer
surprising speed-ups for a number everyday systems tasks, such as unit testing
and CPU scheduling.
