This webinar from IBM Quantum explores the path to quantum advantage in optimization. In this webinar, we cut through common misconceptions, highlight where near-term algorithms show real promise, and examine how IBM clients are already developing optimization applications with disruptive potential.
Dr. Stefan Wörner, Principal Research Scientist, Global Technical Lead for Quantum Optimization, and Manager of the Applied Quantum Science group of IBM Quantum at IBM Research Europe – Zurich discusses leading candidates for quantum advantage in optimization and how the Quantum Optimization Working Group is rethinking how performance is analyzed and tracked.
Dr. Imed Othmani, Industry Partner, Quantum Industry and Technical Services presents real-world optimization use cases from IBM clients, including:
-Portfolio optimization
-Financial fraud detection
-mRNA structure prediction
-Energy grid optimization
-Vehicle routing
-Aerospace component design
