Odra Quantum Computing Summer School

This lecture is conducted as part of the Euro CC project.

We motivate quantum computing, then build a mathematical understanding for qubits, superposition, entanglement, and measurement.

We will cover in a theoretical way how we program quantum computers today, and what runs on them.

We will cover the essentials of superconducting quantum hardware, then look at some of the real-world applications that we are piloting.

We will learn how to program quantum algorithms in practice, including using QAOA for solving an optimization problem.

Session description: GPU-accelerated workloads are increasingly being adopted in hybrid quantum-classical algorithm development to speed up algorithm run time, to test and implement future parallel QPU workflows, to scale up the size of quantum research, and to deploy workflows where QPUs and GPUs are tightly coupled. This session explains NVIDIA’s vision of accelerated quantum supercomputing,...
