Co-Chair:
Said Hamdioui, Delft University of Technology, NL

Quantum computers may revolutionize the field of computation by solving some complex problems that are intractable even for the most powerful current supercomputers. This session will explain the basic concepts of quantum computing and describe what the required layers are for building a quantum system.  The different speakers in the session will then address the engineering challenges when building a quantum computer ranging from the core qubit technology, the control electronics, to the microarchitecture for the execution of quantum circuits and efficient quantum error correction and what compiler and system tools are needed in that context.
