Quantum Computing for Computer Architects, Second Edition

Tzvetan S. Metodi is a senior member of the technical staff at the Computer Systems Research Department at the Aerospace Corporation. Tzvetan received his Bachelors degree in physics from the University of California at Davis and PhD in Computer Science also from UC Davis. Tzvetan's current effort in quantum computing focuses on the development of balanced architectural models of organization and specialization for emerging quantum computing technologies, incorporating quantum fault-tolerance and analysis using modern compilation techniques. His other research interests include the design of hardware-based secure partitioning techniques for general-purpose processors running multi-level security flight software systems employed on modern spacecraft. science at the University of California at Santa Barbara. Prof. Chong also leads the computer architecture and circuits areas in both the ORAQL and NGQCS projects under the IARPA Quantum Computer Science program. Prof. Chong also co-founded the Quantum Architecture Research Center (QARC) in 2001, which received the 2002 DARPATech most significant technical achievement award. Prof. Chong received his BS in 1990, MS in 1992, and PhD in 1996, all from MIT. He was an assistant professor at UC Davis from 1996-2001, was an associate professor at UC Davis from 2001-2005, and has been a professor at UCSB from 2005-present. Dr. Chong's research interests include quantum computing architectures, nanoscale electronics, embedded processing, computer security, and sustainable computing. Prof. Chong was a UC Davis Chancellor's Fellow (2002-2007) and received an NSF CAREER Award (1998-2002).
