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, software and algorithmic developments at IBM Quantum that are making our technology roadmap a reality.
Alexandre Choquette is a quantum computing professional with experience in academia and industry. At IBM Quantum, he is responsible for driving the adoption of quantum computing across various industries through strategic partnerships and collaborations in Canada and internationally.
Alexandre holds a MSc in Quantum Computing from Université de Sherbrooke and prior to his current role he worked as a research scientist at IBM Quantum Zürich and 1QBit. Although he is based in Montreal, you may often find him backcountry skiing on the West coast!
