Roland de Putter speaks about why quantum computing matters and what problems it aims to solve for this year's Qiskit Global Summer School. His lecture introduces the fundamental principles of qubits, superposition, entanglement, and interference, and explains how these phenomena enable quantum algorithms to achieve computational speedups beyond classical approaches. He then surveys key application areas and closes with an overview of the current utility era and IBM's roadmap toward large-scale fault-tolerant quantum computers.
