**MEETING**
Join us as Bill Gonzalez presents on A gentle introduction to quantum computing, a little bit about quantum image processing and quantum machine learning if time permits.

**Quantum Physics**
Basics

* Superposition
* Entanglement
* Unitary/reversibility
* No-cloning
* Probabilistic, run many shots

Quantum Today:

* Quantum Random Number Generators (QRNG)
* Quantum Key Distribution (QKD)
* Quantum Networking
* Quantum Sensing

Quantum Computers:
*Modalities (quick discussion)*

* ion traps, neutral atoms, superconducting, photonics
* Annealing (D-Wave) is. Gate-based

NISQ (Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum) Computers

Errors:

* Error correction, suppression, mitigation
* Error correcting codes (maybe)
* Logical qubits vs. physical qubits

Quantum Computing
*Not suitable for all problems*

* optimization, e.g. path finding
* factoring, period finding
* quantum machine learning

Common algorithms

* Deutsch-Jozsa: for a Boolean function with an input of one bit, is it constant
* Bernstein-Vazirani: restricted version of Deutsch-Jozsa
* Quantum Fourier Transform (QFT)

Quantum Image Processing

* Information representation

Tools

* Infrastructure
* pyqml: [https://www.pyqml.com/](https://www.pyqml.com/)
* -simulation: Quantum Rings
* Software Libraries
* Qiskit
* PennyLane by Xanadu
* Cirq
* others

Quantum Machine Learning

* QCNNs et al.
