4. "When you change the way you
look at things, the things you
look at change.”

Father of Quantum Physics
5. computer which makes use of the
quantum states of subatomic particles
to store information.
Quantum computing studies
theoretical computation systems
(quantum computers) that make
direct use of quantum-mechanical
phenomena, such as superposition, to
perform operations on data.

Part of life because logical work
can also be done
Advantages
◦ Makes work easy and faster
◦ Any complex computation or logical
work like laboratory work become
easy

A Recent History
10. A quantum bit or qubit is a unit of quantum information.
Many different physical objects can be used as qubits
such as atoms, photons, or electrons.
Exists as a ‘0’, a ‘1’ or simultaneously as a superposition
of both ‘0’ & ‘1’

12. Quantum information is physical information that is held
in the "state" of a quantum system.
Though the amount of information that can be retrieved
in a single qubit is equal to one bit, the difference lies in
the processing of information

14. An electron has dual nature.
It can exhibit as a particle and also as wave.
Wave exhibits a phenomenon known as superposition of
waves.
This phenomena allows the addition of waves
numerically.

16. A quantum computer is nothing like a classical computer
in design; transistors and diodes cannot be used.
A new type of technology is needed, a technology that
enables 'qubits' to exist as coherent superposition of 0
and 1 states.

18. A quantum computer can simulate physical processes of
quantum effects in real time.
Molecular simulations of chemical interactions.
Allows chemists and pharmacists to learn more about
how their products interact with each other, and with
biological processes.
◦ Ex: How a drug may interact with a person’s metabolism or
disease.

19. Quantum computers work on an
atomic level
◦ That is roughly 200 times
smaller than Intel’s brand new
45nm architecture.
Would be very useful in research
and algorithm computation

21. Number of bits in a word.
◦ 12-qubit machines is the most advanced to date.
◦ Difficulty with large words is, too much quantum interaction can
produce undesired results. Since all the atoms interact with each
other.
Physical size of the machines.
◦ Current machines are too large to be of practical use to everyday
society.

26. Quantum Computing could provide a radical change in
the way computation is performed.
The advantages of Quantum Computing lie in the
aspects of Quantum Mechanics that are peculiar to it,
most notably entanglement.
Classical Computers will be significantly larger than
Quantum Computers for the foreseeable future.

CLOSING THOUGHTS: At D-Wave, we’re working to radically change people’s perspectives. We’re challenging the idea that computers are hitting limits, the idea that we’re limited by processing power, the idea that classical computing is all that’s out there.
We as a society face HUGE, immense problems and challenges that will otherwise go unsolved without a radically different computation paradigm. The great issues of our time. Water. Energy Resources. Cancer. Infectious Diseases. Financial / market fluctuations. With quantum computers we're better armed to find answers. Solve problems. Make society better.
We're living in an exciting time and the era of quantum computing will spur the biggest changes we’ve seen in computing in our lifetime. The possibilities are immense.
Thank you.
Mention each point, and fill in some of the blanks along the way:
1982: Feynman’s idea
1985: David Deutsch’s defining the idea of a universal QC
1994: Peter Shor’s algorithm
1999: D-Wave founded, part of a class project, funded by Haig Ferris
2000-2004 (D-Wave operates as think tank for quantum computing)
2000: Eddie Farhi develops idea of AQC
2010: D-Wave One
2013: D-Wave Two
Delve into each:
Health: We work with DNA Seq, finding optimal targeted drug therapy. We’re working out how our capabilities can best help them, and it’s really rewarding partnership.
Finance: Our work with 1Qbit is the start of a way to do financial planning via quantum computing, and we give them the ability to do advanced data analysis & risk assessment that they couldn’t otherwise do.
Computing: Google has one of our systems, jointly with NASA, and they’re working on some of the most advanced projects in computing. This includes machine learning, object differentiation – the kind of stuff that no computers have yet been able to do.
Space: Meanwhile, NASA’s been using our system for lots of advanced optimization & calculation – even aiding in the search for exoplanets.
