QUANTUM IS GREAT! BUT DON'T THROW 'THE PHONE IN YOUR POCKET' AWAY

Using classical computing and quantum computing together - that sounds like an unusually refreshing argument in an era where most people - researchers, companies and students – are all chuffed about quantum computers

Let's unbox the mystery and the real side of the future of Quantum Computing in this interview with Dr. Christopher Wilson, Deputy Director, IQC, Professor, University of Waterloo, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Institute for Quantum Computing. Dr. Wilson peels away many angles like entanglement, commercialisation runways, hybrid quantum, quantum supremacy and quantum simulation as he gives us a peek into what's shaping up in the quantum world.

What's the most exciting thing happening in quantum research right now that can translate into something pragmatic for the real-world applications of any kind?

I think it’s very exciting to see the dramatic pace of commercialization and investment in both quantum computing and quantum sensing. Enormous deals seem to be announced constantly at this point. I started working in quantum computing a bit over 20 years ago and never would have thought to see things like they are today.

What's the role, disruption and challenges of quantum sensors or use of Quantum compute at Edge?
