How can quantum computing, AI, and high-performance computing be integrated into future computing infrastructure? When does quantum computing move from promising to practical? Which problem classes are expected to become executable at which stage of hardware maturity for quantum computing?
If you’ve asked any of these questions, you should join Quantinuum and SoftBank Corp. as we explain the findings of "Quantum Computing Frontiers," a joint white paper mapping commercially relevant quantum computing use cases in quantum chemistry and quantum topological data analysis against Quantinuum's hardware roadmap — from Helios today through Sol, Apollo, and beyond.
In this live webinar, the experts will break down a practical framework for understanding how advances in quantum hardware and algorithms could shift the timeline for real-world industrial applications, and how quantum computing, AI, and high-performance computing may come together in future quantum AI data center infrastructure.
You’ll learn about:
- A clear framework for assessing when quantum computing use cases are expected to become commercially viable
- A understanding as to why there is no need to wait for large-scale fault tolerance to start building readiness
- The alignment of hardware , software, algorithm development, and infrastructure strategy around a shared roadmap
- How quantum, AI, and HPC integration could shape the next generation of enterprise computing infrastructure and business models
