   Alexandre Choquette [IBM Quantum]

   Title: Harnessing utility for quantum advantage
   Abstract: With a multitude of quantum demonstrations on 100+ qubits, quantum computing is now firmly in the era of utility where quantum computers can serve as a scientific tool to explore a new scale of problems that classical methods may not be able to solve. This scale, combined with advances in algorithms, is fundamental to enabling quantum advantage; the point where quantum computers can faithfully run one or more tasks providing scientific or business value with more accuracy, efficiently, or cost-effectiveness than with classical computation alone. In this talk, I will present some of the latest hardware and algorithmic developments at IBM Quantum that are making our technology roadmap a reality. I will also explain how the scientific community of the University of Calgary can start programming on an IBM Quantum system today.
