Abstract:

The development of applications for fault-tolerant quantum computers faces two key challenges. First, the current ecosystem includes only a small number of well-motivated applications. Second, even for these few applications, there is a lack of fully executable, end-to-end implementations that can be used to guide practical development. In this talk, I'll talk about Construct (https://construct.psiquantum.com), a software platform designed to address both of these challenges. Construct provides an integrated environment for quantum application development, supporting the entire pipeline—from high-level algorithm design to low-level circuit compilation. It includes tools for resource estimation and optimization, interactive circuit design and visualization, debugging, and backends for compiling to fault-tolerant representations. Construct not only helps bridge the gap between quantum algorithm theory and scalable implementation, but makes developing quantum applications easier, faster, and much more enjoyable.

BIO:

Michał Stęchły is a Senior Quantum Software Engineer at PsiQuantum, where he works on the software stack for developing applications for fault-tolerant quantum computers. His main focus is building better software tools for quantum computing by designing clearer abstractions and developer-facing interfaces. He is also involved in various community initiatives and is the author of Musty Thoughts, a blog, and QSEN, a newsletter about quantum software engineering.
