  • 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 for practically useful quantum computers. Key points include the development of error correction techniques, the scaling of quantum systems, and the integration of quantum and classical computing to solve real-world problems. The conference featured discussions on various quantum hardware platforms, including superconducting qubits, trapped ions, and topological qubits, each with its own set of advantages and hurdles. There's an emphasis on the need for quantum computers to perform beyond classical simulation capabilities, with companies like IBM, Google, and others showcasing their progress in increasing qubit counts and coherence times. Additionally, the article touches on the importance of quantum software and algorithms that can leverage these emerging quantum capabilities to provide practical benefits in fields like cryptography, drug discovery, and materials science.
