Quantum Computing 2021
A Two-Hour HICSS Workshop on Quantum Computing
Wednesday, January 6, 2021
9:00 – 11:00 AM ET
Join us for a hands-on workshop for educators, businesspeople, and technologists.
Open and premium quantum computing systems have been available on the cloud since 2016. Since then, over 275,000 people have registered to use quantum systems via the online IBM Quantum Experience. They have run over 550 Billion circuits on real quantum hardware. The open source Qiskit quantum software development kit has been downloaded over 500,000 times. Thousands of students have learned to code with Python and Qiskit through events like the Qiskit Global Summer School.
Researchers and technologists are working on algorithms and approaches for industries as diverse as aerospace, automotive, banking, capital markets, chemicals, energy, insurance, and manufacturing. Quantum computing intersects disciplines like AI, engineering, computer science, physics, mathematics, chemistry, and quantitative finance.
So … wouldn’t you like an update on the technology, the road map ahead, and how you should start integrating quantum computing into your teaching and your work?
Join us for this workshop to learn more. It is open to all, and attendees at last year’s workshop will find that many exciting developments took place in 2020.
