Keywords:\u00a0<\/span>In recent years, there has been tremendous and ongoing interest in scaling quantum computers. Whether it’s developing new QPUs, control electronics, or software, researchers have made significant progress in scaling each layer of the quantum computing stack, often developed with a strong focus on that single layer. But only a unified system will be able to deliver on the promises of practical computation and simulation. QPUs need to be optimally designed to run cutting-edge algorithms and control systems need to leverage classical software to its full potential for automation and optimization. Ultimately, to achieve this ambition of a useful quantum computer, it is crucial to consider the entire system moving forward and take these interdependencies into account. To address the challenges of quantum scaling, our panel of experts will present all levels of the quantum stack, drawing on insights from leading research laboratories and established companies. By bringing together individuals from all levels, we aim to break down the requirements at every stage of this ambitious scaling endeavor. How do we practically get to fabricating QPUs with thousands of qubits? What level of automation and recalibration will be required to effectively run a large quantum computer? What infrastructure is required to house and control orders of magnitude larger quantum computers? These are just some of the questions we will discuss with the experts and the audience with the hope to underscore the importance of deep collaboration within the field.<\/span><\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Keywords:\u00a0<\/span>Quantum computers are rapidly improving. Recent breakthroughs in Quantum Error Correction, error suppression, and quantum hardware have enabled quantum computers to enter a new era of useful computation. Quantum computers have now surpassed the boundaries of classical simulation and, in many cases, brute-force classical computation.\n
\nHowever, vast uncertainty regarding the usefulness of quantum computers before fault-tolerant quantum computing (FTQC) prevails. Most practical use cases remain out of reach, businesses are still hesitant to invest in dedicated quantum computing resources, and many quantum computing users still rely predominantly on simulators.\n
\nThis panel brings together a diverse group of industry experts charting business applications in quantum today to discuss key questions surrounding useful quantum applications, adoption roadblocks, and tactical advice for businesses looking to leverage quantum computing.\n
\nWhat quantum applications will deliver business value in the near future? What are the roadblocks and hurdles to quantum adoption and implementation across the industry? Is there a utility to quantum hardware before FTQC? What can we learn today from quantum computing that wasn’t possible a year ago?\n
\nThis panel will provide a range of perspectives on the utility of quantum computing and tangible industry impacts.\u00a0<\/span><\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Abstract: <\/span>Quantinuum and Microsoft worked together in early 2024 to investigate the potential of Quantinuum’s H2-1 device to demonstrate the creation of reliable logical qubits and meeting the criteria for Microsoft\u2019s definition of the next era of quantum computing: Level 2 Resilience. In joint work demonstrating this achievement, the teams clearly showed error corrected logical circuit operations at better than breakeven, raising questions for the entire industry.

What work was done in hardware and software to achieve order-of-magnitude improvements between physical and logical circuit error rates? What new capabilities are conferred by achieving Level 2 \u2013 Resilience? What impact do this and other QEC results have on industry roadmaps? Where does error mitigation and error detection fit in? What are the fidelity and scale milestones on the path to Level 3 \u2013 Scalable quantum computing?

This panel brings perspectives from scientists and engineers that worked on Microsoft’s and Quantinuum’s breakthrough achievement of the most reliable logical qubits on record, and the development of Microsoft’s qubit-virtualization system with error diagnostics and correction. The panel will share insights gained through this collaboration and shed light on several of the subsequent problems the Quantinuum and Microsoft teams are tackling. \u00a0<\/span><\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Abstract: <\/span> The million dollar question of the quantum industry is When will we start seeing real quantum algorithmic advantages? When should we expect to see quantum circuits of 100, 1,000, or even 10,000 logical qubits, running thousands or even millions of logical gates reliably and accurately on real noisy quantum devices? It is understood by all, that this “quantum advantage timeline” is critical; and that it will be determined first and foremost by the protocols used for handling errors and noise in the real quantum devices, and in particular, by how efficient and accurate those protocols are. Hardware companies and startups alike are currently using and further developing a variety of methods to handle errors, including error suppression, error mitigation, error correction, and combinations thereof.\n
\nThis panel will discuss the different methods for reducing or eliminating the effect of errors from quantum algorithms, their overheads currently and in the future, and the implications to the quantum advantage timeline, namely, potential implications on various hardware in the coming years.\u00a0<\/span><\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Target Audience:\u00a0<\/span>The target audience is a mix of participation from industry, government and academia, Investors would be very interested to learn about the different perspective of experts about the possible time lines for quantum algorithmic applications; this has a tremendous effect of questions such as the growth of the market. They would also be very interested to hear about the different approaches for handling the main problem of quantum computers, namely noise, in the different hardware platforms and using the different software approaches (EC ES and EM). The answer determines which of these hardware and software is a better horse to gamble on. Government would be very interested in this panel since it will shed light on the possible time line for when the quantum industry will really start to grow; When it does, this could significantly affect the global technological industry and might have an important effect on where to invest government money and which programs need to be put more emphasis on. Industry – end users – would be very interested since they need to know which technologies they should use and what hardware. Finally, academia and researchers are clearly deeply interested in all the above mentioned questions, and would be keen to hear the open questions that exist in the area, and the debates and challenged that call for resolutions. Another type of questions which might be of great interest to researchers in the audience is that of which problems are of interest in which timescale; the clarification of the timeline of availability of different sizes of quantum circuits might further motivate researchers to explore applications for the appropriate sizes.<\/span><\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Abstract: <\/span> Power systems are undergoing a profound transformation, becoming increasingly more complex, dynamic, and uncertain due to the rising deployment of renewable energy resources, Distributed Energy Resources (DERs), the boom of electric vehicles, and more.\n
\nAs the complexity of the modern grid continues to increase, classical technologies are starting to face significant limitations in solving key problems such as grid management, probabilistic risk assessments, and capacity expansion planning. This puts the energy industry in a difficult situation: either simplify the problem and implement a non-optimal solution or invest considerable resources in computation to achieve optimal solutions -but neither of these situations is ideal.\n
\nWhile classical methodologies struggle with modern challenges, quantum technologies emerge as a promising alternative to balance complexity and computational costs in a way that no other technology truly can. Quantum computing, for instance, unlocks new capabilities to optimize electric vehicle charging infrastructure or simulate the aging of energy production facilities. Quantum sensing also offers opportunities for improved monitoring and quantum networking for enhanced grid communication and reliability.\n
\nThis panel will feature speakers from the US government, research, industry, and a quantum startup who have started working together to build ties between the energy and the quantum industries, and experiment on real-world applications.\n
\nWhether you’re looking to understand the concrete applications of quantum in energy, or seeking inspiration for innovative solutions, our panel offers a unique opportunity to engage with leading experts and shape the future of quantum for energy.\u00a0<\/span><\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Abstract: <\/span>In recent years we have seen increased adoption of remote-access quantum computers. At the same time, the few on premises devices used to explore practical applications are used as black boxes. This is a reasonable outcome, as with growing levels of abstraction, the users running applications are seldom the ones operating the machines.\n
\nHowever, quantum computing could heavily benefit from an open stack solution, where users have full access to the inner workings and components of the machine, to test and develop alternative solutions, or optimize each layer individually. Firstly, quantum computing is not a fully mature technology, and experts and scientists can use the flexibility of an open stack solution to develop further, in terms of different qubit modalities and performance of components and technologies. Secondly, higher level users are also becoming more acquainted with the technology and can positively affect its development, if they have access to a transparent system. Lastly, developers around the world can start working on optimizing components for specific tasks, building more tools and even creating an element of standardization that will benefit the entire community. This tension between specialization and standardization is in part the element that would make flexible and transparent designs beneficial.\n
\nIn this panel we will host a discussion between leading innovators with an aim to help the audience grasp the importance of Open Stack Quantum Computing. We will see how providers of quantum processing units, cryogenic systems, control equipment and software can work together with full transparency, to push for faster development. We will get acquainted with the challenges that open stack brings in larger projects such as a national computing center, and what it means to calibrate a transparent and dynamic system. Finally, we will get a feel of what kind of ecosystem the open stack is bringing to life and how it will impact quantum computing.<\/span><\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Abstract: <\/span>The ultimate goal in quantum computing is building a fault-tolerant device capable of running useful, large-scale quantum algorithms with minimal error rates. Some key challenges in achieving fault tolerance include building processors that can support potentially millions of controllable physical qubits, correcting quantum errors through active quantum error correction (QEC) techniques and developing novel algorithms that offer provable speedups. Building software that would allow users to tap into the potential of a fault-tolerant quantum computer more easily is equally challenging. This panel session aims to gather industry representatives, researchers in error correction and hardware architectures, enthusiasts and students to discuss and explore the latest advancements in fault-tolerant quantum computing (FTQC). We aim to discuss four major themes in the quest towards FTQC:\n
\n1. Overall progress towards FTQC: Discuss the multiple hardware architectures and approaches, highlighting the key capabilities (and outstanding challenges) that support (impede) FTQC.\n
\n2. How QEC fits within the FTQC stack: How will a developer work with QEC? How can we integrate syndrome decoding within the FTQC stack? How will high-level quantum programming languages affect the development of the FTQEC layer of the stack, and how can we meet these requirements?\n
\n3. The vertical integration of the software stack for FTQC: A discussion on software standards for the FTQC era. How will a software stack integrate with multiple hardware platforms? Should software development proceed separately from the hardware, or should we seek an integrated approach from the onset?\n
\n4. The role of software in developing new schemes and techniques: What role can software tools play in accelerating the arrival of FTQC?<\/span><\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Abstract: <\/span>\tDiversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA) initiatives are necessary for fostering thriving societies and institutions. These efforts acknowledge the inherent value of diversity and seek to dismantle systemic barriers that hinder equitable participation and representation.\nThis panel is the third annual joint authored IBM Quantum and Quantinuum DEIA panel. This year we are excited to welcome in the partnership of the Unitary Fund 501c (3) nonprofit with a representing author. In the past the panel has prioritized the voices of marginalized groups and tapped c-suite and leadership within the Quantum Industry for their take on fostering diversity, equity and accessibility at their respective companies.
\nThe goal of this year\u2019s panel is to discuss how to leverage accountability for DEIA success. Accountability is a pivotal component in driving meaningful progress as it ensures that organizations and individuals are held accountable for their commitments and actions. Accountability mechanisms, such as transparent reporting, monitoring, and evaluation processes, are critical in holding individuals and institutions responsible for advancing DEIA goals. Without accountability, DEIA efforts risk becoming superficial, lacking the substantive changes needed to create lasting impact.
\nWe aim to provide attendees with concrete ideas and tools to implement accountability and diversity advocacy in their organizations and their broader, personal engagements.\n<\/span><\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Target Audience:\u00a0<\/span>This panel is intended for all attendees of the conference. DEIA within the quantum industry is up to each and every one of us who work in the field, and this panel discussion asks the audience to reflect upon the DEIA efforts of their organizations, and how they and their peers sustain those efforts by keeping the organization, and each other, accountable. Our goal is to have the audience walk away from this discussion with a better understanding of what effective DEIA accountability entails, why it\u2019s important, and how they can do their part to activate change.<\/span><\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Abstract: <\/span>The design and implementation of a quantum workforce plan remains a key bottleneck to the fast-growing field of quantum computing and engineering. Despite the sustained excitement and investments in quantum technology and its applications, the deployment is challenging because of the stringent technical requirements and state-of-the-art knowledge of hardware and software products. How is it possible to de-risk investor and public stakeholder investments that drive the field while ensuring product developers have the needed resources to thrive?\n
\nThe authors posit that entrepreneurship and intrapreneurship frameworks will play a vital role in developing the workforce that can enable the adoption of quantum computing and associated technology. A multidisciplinary and cross-functional approach is required for researchers, industry practitioners, and educators to understand the market needs and streamline product development.\n
\nThe panel will bring together actors from innovation support organizations and the private sector, including incubators, accelerators, start-ups, and large corporations. The discussion will offer space to reflect on the lessons learned on their journey to establishing human and organizational development solutions; the panellists’ interventions will illustrate how entrepreneurship and intrapreneurship skills combined with technical foundations have ultimately led to new product lines, business models, and the buy-in of multiple stakeholders.<\/span><\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Abstract: <\/span>Quantum computing represents the cutting-edge frontier of computational science, promising exponential speedups for specific classes of problems. Understanding its software stack is crucial for harnessing its potential. This is especially important when considering that quantum computers would almost always coexist with classical resources, making interoperability and carefully planned workflows a pre-requisite.\n\nIn this panel, we’ll explore the quantum computing software stack with industry experts, covering everything from pulse-level qubit manipulation to gate-level operations, including both physical and logical gates, compilation, and quantum error suppression, mitigation and correction. We’ll also discuss integration with classical workflows at the application layer, examining roles, state-of-the-art technologies, and prospects. This comprehensive discussion aims to illuminate the complexities and integration of quantum and classical systems within a unified stack.\n\nThe panel will include experts from leading labs, research centers and commercial companies who design and utilize various layers of the software stack. This discussion will help the audience to get a better understanding of what challenges they face in terms of technology, integration and know-how. With this discussion, we will attempt to achieve two critical goals: one, clarify what software steps are involved when running an application on a hybrid quantum-classical system such as the ones in the works in many HPC centers; and two, understand where the integration between quantum and classical processes and protocols really happen.<\/span><\/h5>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Abstract: <\/span>Today, quantum networks are in their infancy. Like the Internet, quantum networks are expected to undergo different stages of research and development until they reach the level of practical use. A best practice in network research and development is to create testbeds to enable rapid prototyping, experimentation, assessment and improvement of technologies and tools before transitioning them into field deployment. To date, a few quantum network testbeds have been, or are being built around the world to demonstrate the building blocks of quantum networks. Each testbed has its unique design, architecture, and underlying quantum technologies. Although significant progress has been made, existing quantum network testbeds are typically implemented as large laboratory experiments with limited functionality. To move these testbeds from laboratory experiments to practical deployment of quantum networks, several technical challenges for quantum networks need to be addressed. This panel consists of several quantum networking experts with experience building testbeds, who will identify major challenges for practical deployment of quantum networks and future directions for research and development in order to meet these challenges. At the beginning of the panel session, each of the panelists will present their testbed and his\/her position statement covering certain important aspects of this subject. Then, the panelists and the audience will discuss the presented statements, past experiences, and new ideas in the subject area. This panel provides a platform to exchange ideas and share problem-solving skills in building quantum network testbeds and their control software stacks.<\/span><\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
