Accelerating the cloud with quantum

Azure Quantum. The power of Azure, accelerated by Quantum. This is the present and future of cloud computing. A quantum-classical compute fabric that holds the promise of helping to remake our global economy, by offering new capabilities to help solve some of our planet's biggest challenges--in energy, climate, agriculture, and health--and across a broad span of industrial sectors, including computational chemistry, materials science, and nuclear and particle physics. Quantum computers are accelerators to large-scale classical compute and receive instructions and cues from classical processors. The success of quantum computation requires seamless integration in a high-performance cloud, to enable hyperscale workloads with complex classical pre- and post-processing. It also requires scaling up; to achieve the full promise, we need a leadership-class quantum machine with more than 1M physical qubits. I'll share the types of problems such a quantum machine will accelerate in the cloud, and how you can program and develop towards these advances today with Azure Quantum. I'll also share how quantum ideas are being emulated to enhance classical solutions, enabling quantum impact right now. Welcome to the quantum era of computing.
