Quantum computers have left the laboratory and offer the potential to help solve some of the most complex technical, commercial, scientific, and national defense problems that organizations face. In the near term quantum computing will complement HPC by providing unique computing resources for complex optimization problems, Monte Carlo / sampling applications and provide new capabilities to advance machine learning.=0A=0AIn this presentation, Dr. Williams will explain the basics of quantum computing, the current state and future potential of this revolutionary technology, and the kinds of applications that it will address.
