The era of quantum utility

Abstract: With numerous demonstrations on 100+ qubits, quantum computers are now tools capable of exploring problems beyond the limits of brute-force classical simulation. Learn how the latest advances in IBM quantum hardware and software are enabling researchers to accelerate algorithm discovery and application development in various domains including healthcare and life sciences. We’ll also discuss IBM’s vision for the future of quantum-centric supercomputing, including opportunities for AI and quantum to work together in attempting to solve today’s toughest societal challenges.
