In this session, we will cover several features of the Qiskit open source development kit that will help you to be more productive and improve performance when programming quantum computers. This will include the Qiskit Runtime feature to run hybrid quantum-classical algorithms more efficiently. We will also cover the new Qiskit Runtime Service available in the IBM Cloud.

Note that this is part 6 of an 8-session series on Quantum Computing on Mar 22/23, Apr 5/6, Apr 19/20, May 3/4, May 17/18, May 31/Jun 1, Jun 14/15, Jul 5/6. The sessions are not prerequisites for each other, and are not recorded. We will provide reference links and do quick recaps of previous content as required, so if you miss an earlier session, you can still get value from subsequent sessions.

Presenter: Dr. Sean Wagner

Sean Wagner is a Research Scientist and a Quantum Technical Ambassador at IBM. When he's not programming and experimenting with Qiskit, Sean spends his time working with researchers at academic institutions and industry partners in Canada on projects involving high-performance computing, hardware acceleration, quantum computing, and data science and AI.

Now that quantum computing is available to the masses, what can be done with this new technology outside of scientific research?

We will be providing an overview and deep dive into how quantum computing can be used for artistic and creative purposes. Over the course of an hour, Wiktor Mazin and Russell Huffman will give a survey of how quantum computing is being adopted by creative practitioners, and then go through a tutorial on how you can get started by created fractal art with quantum information, quantum circuits, and using IBM’s real state of the art quantum systems.

All necessary tools and links to get started will be covered during this talk.

Note that this is part 7 of an 8-session series on Quantum Computing on Mar 22/23, Apr 5/6, Apr 19/20, May 3/4, May 17/18, May 31/Jun 1, Jun 14/15, Jul 5/6.

We’ve all had that frustrating experience of trying to search for something and not finding the results we are after. By building systems that leverage NLP, we can infuse our systems with semantic knowledge and minimize this frustration for end users of our systems.

Free-text search can be limiting, requiring us to search using the exact set of keywords that have been indexed. To go beyond simple text matching requires an understanding of both the search intent and the semantic meaning of the words being searched.

In this session we will explore:
- How knowledge graphs can be used to represent semantic relationships
- How ontologies can be used to infer additional knowledge from the graph
- How natural language processing techniques can be applied to understanding search intent
- How a knowledge graph can be combined with traditional text search indices

Advances in quantum computing hardware and software are bringing us closer to the realization of quantum advantage. In this session, we will examine features of Qiskit and the IBM Quantum platform that will help realize this goal.

First, we'll cover the use of error mitigation and suppression techniques that can help improve the results of quantum computations on current hardware. Next, circuit knitting methods will be presented, showing how we can do large quantum calculations with fewer qubits. We will bring these techniques together in a demonstration of a quantum chemistry calculation using Qiskit Nature.

Note that this is part 8 of an 8-session series on Quantum Computing on Mar 22/23, Apr 5/6, Apr 19/20, May 3/4, May 17/18, May 31/Jun 1, Jun 14/15, Jul 5/6.
