Programme
Quantum Computing: opportunities in Manufacturing by Gabriele Compostella, Ph.D, Industry Application Consultant, IBM Quantum Industry and Technical Services
Quantum computing is an emerging technology that promises to revolutionize how complex computational problems are solved in industry.
Though early in its development, quantum computing is expected to significantly impact the manufacturing industry by offering new ways to develop advanced materials for batteries, identify new materials and approach the solution of large optimization problems.
This session will explore the motivation and potential for quantum computing in the manufacturing industry and the types of use cases to which it may be applied, providing examples from the IBM Quantum Network.
Enabling Quantum Development- Proteox Dilution Refrigerators by Tessa Dale, Product Manager, Quantum Technologies, Oxford NanoScience Ltd
This talk will aim to cover the use of cryogenic cooling in enabling Quantum technology and development. We will cover what a dilution refrigerator is, how ultra-low temperatures allow Quantum observations to be made, as well as how Oxford NanoScience innovation in design and manufacture are enabling ease of use and scalability as Qubit numbers increase in large scale Quantum Computing.
