SUMMARY:FTXS 2023 : Invited Speaker (Paolo Rech, "Quantum Computing Reliab
 ility: Problems, Tools, and Potential Solutions")
DESCRIPTION:Paolo Rech (Università di Trento)\n\nQuantum computing is a ne
 w computational paradigm, expected to revolutionize the computing field in
  the next few years. Qubits, the atomic units of a quantum circuit, exploi
 t the quantum physics properties to increase the parallelism and speed of 
 computation.  Unfortunately, qubits are both intrinsically noisy and highl
 y susceptible to external sources of faults, such as ionizing radiation. T
 he reported qubits error rate is so high that researchers are questioning 
 the large-scale adoption of quantum computers and forces unpractical mitig
 ation solutions such as installing the quantum computer in underground cav
 es. Innovative solutions to improve the reliability of quantum application
 s are then highly necessary. \n\nIn the talk, after providing all informat
 ion and background needed to understand quantum computing basics and an ov
 erview of the available quantum technologies vulnerabilities, we will pres
 ent the available hardening solutions and the open challenges that need to
  be addressed. We will consider both the intrinsic noise, that has a predi
 ctable and incremental effect, and radiation-induced transient faults, tha
 t are stochastic and modify the qubit in an unpredictable way. Based on th
 e latest studies and radiation experiments performed on real quantum machi
 nes, we will show how to model the transient faults in a qubit and how to 
 inject this fault in a quantum circuit to track its propagation. We will d
 iscuss the vulnerability of qubits and of circuits, identifying the most c
 ritical parts and the main course for output corruption. Finally, we will 
 provide an overview of the open (reliability) challenges in quantum comput
 ing to stimulate further studies and solutions.\n\nTag: Fault Handling and
