 “Introduction to Quantum Computing and Quantinuum”

 
This presentation introduces quantum computing and highlights the innovations of Quantinuum, a leading full-stack quantum computing company. At the heart of Quantinuum's approach is the integration of cutting-edge trapped-ion quantum computing hardware with software tools to investigate solutions to problems in diverse areas such as cybersecurity, drug discovery, materials science, and finance. We'll explore the enthusiasm around quantum computers, delve into their fundamental concepts, and discuss the nuances of quantum circuits. Attendees will gain insights into "TKET", a versatile open-source quantum software development kit crafted without favoring any particular quantum architecture. As we wrap up, we'll shed light on the emerging job opportunities within the quantum computing landscape.
