Webcast (CERN)

For over 40 years, quantum computing has intrigued and amazed scientists and non-scientists in its future possibility for solving problems that are intractable using classical computing. Over the last five years, IBM has made real quantum computers available on the cloud so that clients, students, and researchers can begin to learn and experiment with this new way of computing.

We'll see what potentials exist in various industries, the state of quantum computing today, and how you can get on the right path to make the earliest use of this rapidly evolving technology.

Through a practical tour of Qiskit, you will learn the basic quantum computing principles (superposition, entanglement, and interference) used in various quantum algorithms. You’ll create your own quantum circuits and execute them on a real quantum computer using the IBM Quantum Lab on the cloud.

We'll finish with an overview of the various application modules, and overview of the latest Qiskit features including the Qiskit Runtime.
