RSVP FOR THIS EVENT

Join us for this informative session about quantum computing in Austin, TX

Attendance is free!

Over the past year investment in quantum computing research and technology development has skyrocketed worldwide, as has interest in the potential of this revolutionary technology. D-Wave Systems, the first quantum computing company, continues to make rapid advancements and this past year released its 1000+ qubit D-Wave 2X system, which has been installed at the NASA / Google Quantum Artificial Intelligence Lab, Los Alamos National Laboratory and Lockheed Martin.

Recent benchmark results from Google on the D-Wave 2X demonstrated a 100,000,000 times speedup over a classical system for a specific type of problem, and numerous other studies showed the potential for the technology in areas ranging from database query optimization to portfolio optimization to deep learning.

Find out what impact this next era of computing will have, by joining us for an informative talk about quantum computing, D-Wave technology, software and tools, and potential application areas.
