  • Oliver Dial, IBM Fellow, is giving the keynote for Q2B 2024. He describes what is needed for practical quantum computers. IBM achieved the minimum of more accurate answers than classical (regular computers). However, they are not yet to the scale needed for practically useful problems.

The article from NextBigFuture discusses the Q2B conference, focusing on the advancements and challenges in quantum computing. It highlights the push towards achieving accurate quantum computation that could be practically useful for real-world applications. Key points include the development of error correction techniques, the scalability of quantum systems, and the integration of quantum and classical computing to enhance performance. The conference featured insights from industry leaders and researchers who emphasized the importance of reducing error rates in quantum operations, improving qubit coherence times, and developing algorithms that can leverage the unique capabilities of quantum computers. There's also a mention of the ongoing debate about the timeline for achieving quantum advantage, with some optimism about near-term applications in fields like cryptography, optimization, and material science, despite the significant technical hurdles that remain.
