Published purpose
Current quantum hardware architectures are monolithic, and limited by the number of qubits. One potential way to scale (increase the number of qubits) is by distributing the quantum algorithm (circuit) on multiple nodes via networking the nodes together by optical interconnects. softwareQ is building a distributed quantum compiler and scheduler for optical-based quantum computers comprising of multiple nodes linked by optical interconnects. softwareQ is modelling and benchmarking such a system with high fidelity, for scheduling and compiling distributed quantum circuits, thus paving the way towards scalable quantum computation.
