Quantum Life Sciences Consortium: Quantinuum Technical Workshop
Description
We're pleased to invite you to the Quantum Life Sciences Consortium Quantinuum Technical Workshop. This event brings together researchers, research groups, startups, government and national initiatives from across the quantum computing ecosystem in Queensland and beyond.
Quantinuum's Compute Platform & Applications
The workshop is an introduction to Quantinuum's compute platform, which consists of its hardware system and the full-stack developer platform. This will cover operational aspects of the hardware, an introduction to the Guppy programming Language, the Nexus platform and information on how to access the compute platform for your research.
Additionally, we will present key demonstrated use cases and customer success stories. We will conclude with a demonstration of the platform, summarize the key offerings and how to access them, and then link to relevant technical documentation or ecosystem engagement programs. Note: the Guppy presentation may include an optional hands-on component.
