Abstract: While quantum computing promises to help solve some of the great challenges ahead, we are still in the early days of what will be possible. Today’s quantum computers enable exciting research and early development, however their small scale often limits what’s possible and leaves an eagerness to do more. Quantum at scale requires three foundational elements: an industrial scale quantum machine, the power of the cloud, and an ecosystem of innovators. Where does it all come together? Azure Quantum, Microsoft’s platform for quantum innovation and exploration. Learn how Microsoft is architecting the scalable quantum machine, and empowering innovators with quantum at scale to understand the number of qubits and runtime required for a quantum solution on future scaled quantum machines, to run small instances on today’s diverse and maturing quantum hardware, and to prepare for tomorrow’s scaled quantum compute.

Bio: Krysta Svore leads the Azure Quantum software team (formerly the Quantum Architectures and Computation group at Microsoft Research) for Microsoft in Redmond, Washington, where she is Distinguished Scientist and Vice President of Quantum Software. She is passionate about quantum computation and determining how to solve some of the world’s most challenging problems by using a quantum computer. Her research focuses on quantum algorithms and how to implement them, ranging from how to code them in a high-level programming language, to how to optimize the resources they require, to how to implement them in hardware.
