Description
Quantum computing is not a substitute for classical computing, it is dedicated to very specific tasks that it can accelerate exponentially. Quantum processors will therefore have to coexist with traditional processors, which will retain control over the execution of instructions. This vision of quantum "coprocessors", on the model of GPUs, is now a consensus among researchers and early adopters. However, the system architecture of this hybridization remains an open subject and ultimately very little addressed. This presentation will attempt to expose the problem and present the directions taken by Atos.
