Quantum Computing and Qiskit: An Introduction

Tuesday 13 Jul 2021, 15:00 → 18:00 Asia/Seoul

Zoom Link

Abstract
Quantum computing is the most exciting frontier of information technology. A universal fault-tolerant quantum computer has the promise to solve complex problems in business and science that are currently intractable using classical computers.

IBM Quantum allows users from anywhere to learn about and run quantum circuits and algorithms using a simulator on real quantum processors.

In this colloquium, we’ll introduce quantum computing, demonstrate the IBM Quantum environment and present the Korean Qiskit community. 

Bios
Dr Anna Phan is a researcher with a passion for multidisciplinary science, education and outreach. At IBM Quantum, Anna’s mission is to drive quantum education and quantum machine learning for clients and grow the Qiskit community in Australia. Prior to joining IBM, as part of a postdoc and PhD in experimental particle physics, Anna worked as part of the LHCb and ATLAS collaborations at CERN, creating algorithms and models to measure particle properties and discover new physics.

Soyoung Shin has a master of Physics from Seoul National University which studied the non-linear dynamics of a cold atomic system. After this, she worked as a system engineer at Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI) for Korea's first space launch vehicle(KSLV-I). After the long parental break, Soyoung entered the PhD course at Seoul National University majoring in Physics, and finally start her quantum computing research last year and became a Qiskit advocate, the Qiskit Korean localization co-lead and ran Korea's first Quantum computing hackathon this Feb.
