Event Description

Max Henderson, PhD, QxBranch

Quantum computing is a highly promising emerging technology that could present significant opportunities for many application areas, including optimization, machine learning, and physical simulation. This presentation will give a brief explanation of the background of the field and technology, with several detailed examples of implementing quantum computing algorithms. Additionally, a focus of this talk will be "cutting through the hype" of quantum computing, dispelling common myths, and painting a picture for what to expect out of quantum computing in the noisy, intermediate scale quantum (NISQ) computing era.
