Venue
The Queensland Digital Health Centre (QDHeC), EQUS, and QUBIC are excited to bring you this seminar on World Quantum Day.
Join Dr Gavin Jones, Senior Research Scientist & Manager, Quantum Computational Sciences; IBM Technical Lead for the Quantum Working Group on Health Care and Life Sciences, for an overview of Quantum Computing Applications at IBM.
This presentation will provide a synopsis of IBM’s quantum computing efforts to develop and scale quantum technology. It will describe milestones on the Development and Innovation Roadmap to deliver client-facing systems and services, which will precede a general overview of potential applications of quantum computing for various industries. Pertinent examples of use cases in the finance, aerospace, and automotive sectors that have been explored with IBM quantum devices will be highlighted. Most of the talk will focus on quantum applications for chemistry, for which early efforts by IBM researchers will be described before focusing on more recent advances and highlighting remaining challenges.
