NSF Workshop on Quantum Operating Systems and Real-Time Control will be held on November 3, 2024 at the Hilton Austin in Austin, Texas. 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.
