Please join us for the Orange County ACM Chapter's bi-monthly evening program series.
Quantum Computing - Fundamentals, Hardware, and HPC/AI Opportunities
Agenda
6:30 PM Doors Open & Networking
7:00 PM Announcements and Presentation
8:30 PM Meeting Adjourned
Event Details
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.
Speaker
Taylor Patti is a senior research scientist at NVIDIA. Her research interests are all things at the intersection of quantum and classical computation, including quantum algorithms, machine learning for quantum applications, and the efficient simulation of quantum systems. She holds Bachelor's degrees from Chapman University in Physics and Computational Science, Mathematics, and Spanish, as well as a Master's and PhD in theoretical physics from Harvard University.
Co-sponsors
This event is co-sponsored by the IEEE Orange County Computer Society, SIGAI OC, and the IEEE OC Solid-State Circuit Society (SSCS).
Venue & Parking
This meeting will be held at the Knobbe Martens' Irvine offices. Parking validation will be provided to attendees.
