Archer Materials Ltd (ASX:AXE) and International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) (NYSE:IBM) (LON:IBM) will host a joint webinar next month on the topic of quantum computing.
Representatives from Archer and IBM will discuss the development of quantum computing and its applications on Tuesday, September 15.
IBM quantum ambassador Dr Adam Makarucha will join Archer quantum technology manager Dr Martin Fuechsle in a non-technical presentation on the opportunities and economic drivers behind quantum computing.
This will include the timeframes associated with current technological progress in the broader quantum computing economy.
The webinar will cover areas in quantum computing that currently generate the most economic value and will include Q&A with the speakers.
IBM Q Network
Quantum computing represents the future of computing, promising an exponential increase in computational power and speed.
As a fundamentally different way of computation, quantum computing could potentially transform businesses and societies.
Archer recently joined the IBM Q Network, which is a community of Fortune 500 companies, academic institutions, start-ups and national research labs working with IBM to advance quantum computing.
The agreement with IBM supports Archer’s plans to use IBM's open-source framework, Qiskit, as the software stack for the Archer’s future 12CQ qubit processor chip technology.
Speaker biographies
Dr Fuechsle has 10 years’ experience in building quantum computing devices and technology.
During his post-doctoral research at the UNSW Centre for Quantum Computation and Communication Technology, he developed the single-atom transistor.
He received his PhD in experimental physics at the University of New South Wales in 2011, working on the fabrication of donor-based quantum logic devices in silicon.
In his current role, Fuechsle’s work focuses on developing a room-temperature compatible quantum processor as part of Archer’s 12CQ technology development.
Dr Makarucha is a data scientist and IBM Q Ambassador within IBM Systems where he is developing deep learning use cases and demonstrations for clients on IBM's Deep Learning Platform.
He completed his post-doctorate at IBM Research Australia in 2018, where he worked on deep learning applications for the financial services industry.
Makarucha has more than 8 years’ experience in using and setting up High Performance Computing environments.
His current focus is on the intersection of deep learning and quantum information science.
