The document summarizes V.G. Gueorguiev's talk at Hacker Dojo on December 06, 2019 about the variety of quantum computing platforms currently available. The talk reviewed some basic quantum computing concepts covered so far, like state vectors and Hilbert spaces. Examples using different platforms like D-Wave, IBM, and CoCalc were shown for problems like MaxCut, traveling salesman, and number factorization. An overview of platforms from IBM, Google, D-Wave, Rigetti, Microsoft, QC-Ware, and IonQ was then provided. The talk concluded with a Q&A and discussion section.
