MQV Colloquium: Hossam Ahmed


The MQV Colloquia feature interdisciplinary talks given by local as well as invited international experts. The colloquia, which are accessible to a worldwide audience via videoconference, cover all aspects of quantum technologies, with a focus on MQV research activities. The goal of the series is to establish and strengthen connections with quantum-technology experts worldwide and to provide a platform for education and scientific exchange for and with the local quantum ecosystem.


Telemetry for Quantum Characterization and Maintenance

Hossam Ahmed – TUM

Abstract

Telemetry has long been an essential tool in High Performance Computing (HPC) for characterizing both systems and applications. In quantum computing, we are beginning to observe how environmental parameters and operational events impact system performance. However, a comprehensive system architecture and framework to systematically characterize and correlate these effects with quantum performance metrics have been lacking. This talk will present a system design that addresses this gap, detailing its architecture, data collection, and analysis framework. We will also discuss the applications and insights emerging from this system, highlighting how telemetry-driven characterization can advance the reliability and performance of quantum computing platforms.
