SUMMARY:Krysta Svore (NVIDIA): UW Public Lecture in Quantum Science and Engineering
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Krysta Svore\nVice President of Applied Research for Quantum Computing at NVIDIA \nFebruary 10 | 7:30 p.m. – 8:30 p.m.\nUW Seattle Campus\nKane Hall Auditorium – Room 130 \nDesigning the Accelerated Quantum Supercomputer: AI‑First\, Real‑Time Required \nAbstract: Quantum computing is often framed as a hardware challenge\, but the next breakthroughs will come from the fusion of AI\, advanced systems software\, and real‑time quantum–classical integration. As quantum processors scale\, the bottlenecks shift: calibration becomes a data problem\, decoding becomes an AI problem\, and system performance becomes a real‑time orchestration problem. This talk will explore how accelerated emulation\, AI‑driven calibration and decoding\, and ultra‑low‑latency quantum–classical links are redefining what a quantum computer is. These capabilities enable rapid iteration\, higher‑quality qubits\, and system‑level designs that were previously out of reach\, opening the door to architectures that can genuinely scale. By examining the emerging blueprint of an accelerated quantum supercomputer\, we will look at the key requirements for building such systems—from real‑time control to heterogeneous acceleration—and how advances across the ecosystem are bringing this future closer\, faster\, and with far greater impact than qubits alone could achieve. \nBio: Dr. Krysta Svore is Vice President of Applied Research for Quantum Computing at NVIDIA\, joining the company after 19 years at Microsoft\, where she served as Technical Fellow and VP of Advanced Quantum Development and pioneered reliable quantum computing through the co‑design of hardware\, software\, and error correction. She began her career developing machine learning methods for web search before founding Microsoft’s quantum computing software\, algorithms\, and architecture program.  She led efforts that brought the first quantum computers to Azure\, advanced state‑of‑the‑art quantum software and algorithms\, created an open‑source quantum software stack\, developed a scalable quantum architecture\, and in collaboration with Quantinuum and Atom Computing demonstrated the first logical qubits with better‑than‑physical error rates in 2024. She has published more than 70 refereed articles\, filed over 30 patents\, and is a fellow of the AAAS\, APS\, and WSAS\, as well as a Kavli Fellow of the National Academy of Sciences\, one of UNESCO’s Quantum100 leaders. Dr. Svore has advised the National Quantum Initiative\, the U.S. Department of Energy\, and DARPA\, and is internationally recognized for transforming foundational research into breakthrough technologies and for building and empowering high‑performing teams. She now brings her visionary leadership to NVIDIA to accelerate the future of quantum computing.
