PERSPECTIVE QUANTUM #8

L'ISEQ, INTRIQ, COPL, Québec Quantique, Optonique et NUMANA  invite you Wednesday, January 26 from 10:00 a.m. to the 8th webinar of the Quantum Perspective series with Dominic Marchand from 1QBit on quantum software: pushing the limits.

Quantum software joins all aspects of the development of quantum computing technology, its methods and its industrial applications. Each layer of the quantum full-stack, from the application to the control of the qubits, requires its methods and its software support. Drawing on the unique experience 1QBit has accumulated over the past 10 years, we will survey this booming field and share some lessons and trends observed.

1QBit is a leader in quantum computing and artificial intelligence (AI). Founded in 2012 in Vancouver, the company moved to the innovative ecosystem of Sherbrooke in 2019. By positioning itself at the intersection of industry needs and emerging computing hardware, the company innovates and sets itself apart in several ways. 1QBit advocates a very diverse approach to build its quantum roadmap that combines both solid expertise in quantum computing, but also in classic technologies like AI, optimization and hardware acceleration. It collaborates with both big names in the Fortune 100 as well as leaders in quantum hardware.
