Summary:
This talk will provide overview of the basic tenants of quantum computing and highlight the areas in which we hope to find advantages. It will also provide a brief review of the leading quantum computer architectures of recent years, describing their advantages and limitations. It will conclude with a discussion of the opportunities that High Performance Computing (HPC) and AI have in the quantum computing field, both to improve quantum hardware and algorithms, as well as to outperform quantum computers on the very tasks for which we hope that they excel.
