Event 4: Quantum Computing meets Business

Welcome to the 4th meetup of our group “Quantum Computing meets Business - Rhineland”!
For this event we have invited the Dr. Juris Ulmanis, research leader at Alpine Quantum Technology (AQT) as a guest speaker. AQT is based in Innsbruck (Austria) and is the first European hardware supplier for quantum computers. It was founded by a group of leading scientists with a longterm experience in ion trap technology. AQT is also the first vendor who managed to fit its quantum computing hardware into existing 19''-rack cabinets.
The meetup will be held in English.

After the speaker slot, we have a time buffer for open questions.

Agenda:

18:00 - 18:15 CET - "Welcome Note" by organizers

18:15 - 19:00 CET - Ion trap Quantum Computers at AQT, by Dr. Juris Ulmanis (Alpine Quantum Technology)

19:00 - 19:15 CET - Q&A Session

Abstract:
Scalable, fault-tolerant quantum computers promise to solve certain problems much faster than their best classical counterparts. At AQT we are working towards realizing such universal quantum computing architectures. While this goal is still years away, noisy, intermediate-scale quantum devices are available already today and are expected to perform beneficial work, for instance, in optimizing novel material design or critical processes in logistics, healthcare and finance. During the meetup I will introduce the ion-trap platform that AQT is developing and discuss a few example applications.
