Join Dr. Sebastian Will's Quantum Simulation and Computation Seminar, a 4-part series associated with UN3084. 

In the fourth seminar, Dr. Nick Bronn from IBM Quantum will discuss Outlook of Superconducting Quantum Computers for Quantum Simulation: The simulation of quantum systems was the initial promise of quantum computers around 40 years ago. Since then, small-scale noisy quantum computing prototypes have been constructed, with those consisting of superconducting qubits a currently popular modality. In this talk, I'll give an overview of the history and physics of superconducting qubits, followed by IBM's hardware and software roadmaps for scaling these processors and their applications. I'll conclude with some recent simulation results on superconducting quantum computers from both myself and colleagues at IBM.
