- Title:
- Force-multiplying quantum hardware with software
- Description:
-
This talk will cover several vignettes that demonstrate how quantum hardware can attain force-multiplied performance by utilizing co-designed software. Common to these vignettes is the idea that quantum software should break the traditional abstraction barriers present in classical stacks. This requires tailoring compilation and characterization methods to the underlying device physics of hardware—an approach which forms the basis of our Superstaq platform. This talk will also present results from an emerging application of quantum computing known as contextual machine learning. Numerics indicate a quantum advantage for analysis of highly-correlated data.
