Welcome to the Quantum Computing devroom
Abstract
Quantum computing promises to solve problems that are out of reach for classical systems, but today's quantum computers are still experimental, noisy, and lack scalability. So why are we already building software for them?
We will give a concise introduction to the field of quantum software for FOSDEM attendees that are not too familiar with it. Covering the full stack—from algorithms to hardware—we'll make the case for how software (and open-source software in particular) plays a critical role in advancing quantum computing and helping scientists turn potential into reality.
Following that, we will introduce the schedule of the Quantum Computing devroom.
