Quantum Computing: Towards Advantage by Dhinakaran Vinayagamurthy

Venue: Bharti501

Abstract: This talk will provide a perspective on where we are at IBM Quantum in building useful quantum computers. There are two main pillars: developing a quantum computing platform that scales beyond classical computers, and discovering algorithms that leverage the strengths of this platform to deliver state-of-the-art methods for solving hard problems. The talk will also provide an overview of how tools available in Qiskit can be leveraged for research and development.
