Join us for an in-person session tailored for the Columbia University research community, exploring quantum computing as a powerful new accelerator for advanced academic research and analysis. Led by an expert from IBM Quantum, this event will demystify quantum systems and demonstrate how they are transitioning from theoretical physics concepts to practical computational solutions.
What We Will Cover:
-
The Mechanics of Quantum Simulation: Understand how quantum hardware approaches highly complex scientific models that overwhelm classical supercomputers.
-
Algorithm Architecture: Explore the critical differences between near-term hybrid approaches and native quantum algorithms, including when to deploy each.
-
From Theory to Code: Review real-world coding examples designed to bridge the gap between abstract quantum mechanics and practical computational research tools.
We will also leave time for Q&A at the end.
Also note that IBM provides Classroom Accounts to help faculty give students access to real quantum hardware without the usual onboarding setup or public queue delays. If you'd like to use this for your teaching, you can submit a request.
