Abstract:

Practitioners wishing to use the astonishing potential performance of quantum computers (QCs) may be confounded by the uncertain date at which QCs will deliver differentiated performance for real-world problems. Quantum Computing Inc.'s mission is to deliver applications that are quantum-ready, i.e. able to exploit quantum computers when they deliver performance, while delivering strong performance today on classical (CPUs, GPUs) and non-classical (non-quantum annealers) processors. This talk will sketch the QC landscape and how QCI will deliver performance in the near- and medium-term.

Food and beverages will be provided.
