Abstract

From the Iron Age revolutionizing agriculture to the Silicon Age revolutionizing how we communicate, chemistry and materials advances have always created inflection points for societal progress. But understanding nature is challenging; efficient, accurate, and scalable calculations will require the world’s most advanced AI models, together with high-performance cloud computing, and an even bigger transformation: quantum supercomputing. The integration of HPC, AI, and Quantum in the cloud will help scientists solve society’s most pressing challenges like reversing climate change and addressing food insecurity. Ultimately unlocking these solutions requires our industry to advance to a Quantum Supercomputer, capable of 1 million reliable quantum operations per second and at most one error in a trillion operations. And it requires enabling a diverse, global community to rapidly learn and innovate to bring chemistry and quantum computing together. Dr. Svore will share the steps toward a Quantum Supercomputer, and how to measure its performance. She’ll show how Azure Quantum Elements is bringing together advanced AI and HPC , and ultimately quantum supercomputing, to unlock transformative solutions. And how with our universal user interface – natural language – and nature’s foundational language – chemistry – we can usher in a new era of scientific discovery. Innovators can start experimenting with the world’s best quantum hardware in Azure Quantum and get ready to solve more complex problems when quantum supercomputing becomes a reality. Join us in accelerating scientific discovery, together.
