Week #47's Wednesday Evening Training: Hands-on with Quantum Computing, a practical introduction using Qiskit (part 2)

This was actually our third Wednesday Evening Training on Quantum computing (for the other sessions, see the resources below. This evening, one of our Quantum Computer champions, Julian van Velzen, gave us a demo and walkthrough of a handson lab to solve a pattern matching problem.



In the handson labs, we implemented this algorithm ourselves using the Qiskit. This is an open-source quantum computing framework for leveraging today's quantum processors in research, education, and business (see the links to resources below).

To find a useful application of Quantum computing, you need to connect the theoretical math problems a Quantum computer can solve to real life problems and user stories. Think of matching problems, route optimizations et cetera for problems that cannot be solved efficiently or not at all by classical computers. We had an inspiring brainstorm on which type of problems and opportunities our clients could use Quantum computing.

 

At the end of the evening, had a nice discussion on the math involved. There a few topics that need refreshment, so we planned a math Intermezzo in next week;s Wednesday Evening Training.

In the next Wednesday Evening Training session on Quantum computing, we will continue our labs. There is a lot to learn!
