Do You Want to Learn to Program Quantum Computers for Free?
This meeting was held virtually and was recorded so that others could view it later. Links to the recording and slides are included at the end of the meeting Description.
Quantum computers have the potential to dramatically shorten the time that it takes a computer to solve certain difficult problems. This has the potential to significantly impact computing, but few programmers have learned to program these quantum computers. Please join us as Dr. Joel Gottlieb explains how to program a quantum computer by walking through a complete, simple example. His talk will include how to formulate the problem, how to write the program, and how to tune the program. No prior quantum computing experience is needed. Participants in the meeting will learn how to get free limited access to D-Wave’s Leap2 Quantum Cloud Service. Participants will also have an opportunity to ask Joel their questions about quantum computing.
