Quantum Applications and Microsoft's Unique Approach to Quantum Computing

A National Strategic Computing Initiative
WEBINAR Series Event 

CyberScience and CyberInfrastructure: A New Approach to                                                            Discovery in Science and Engineering

Electrical and Physical Characterization of Nano- and Non-Linear Devices for Future Computing

SPaFRutgers University's Office of Advanced Research Computing (OARC) and Rutgers Discovery Informatics Institute (RDI2) are pleased to collaborate as one of the nation's few host sites for the limited-seat National Strategic Computing Initiative webinar series by the National Institute of Standards and Technology.

Please join us on Tuesday, March 14th from 1:00 - 3:00 pm as we present the NSCI WEBINAR Series Event "Quantum Applications and Microsoft's Unique Approach to Quantum Computing" with speaker Dave Wecker of Microsoft (Please note, our events have moved to Room 601 in the CoRE Building and are limited-access simulcast.)

About the presentation:" “Microsoft’s Station Q was founded in 2006. The focus of the team has always been topological quantum computing. By taking a full systems architecture approach, we have reached the point where we now able to start engineering a scalable quantum computer. The goal is to be able to solve major problems in areas of interest (e.g., Chemistry, Materials and Machine Learning). This talk will focus on the types of applications that we will be trying to solve as well as the unique approach to quantum computation that we’ve developed. " (Dave Wecker)
