Our quantum future is here.
Quantum solutions are delivering astonishing innovation
and having an impact right now.
These solutions will help nurture our planet
and improve our lives for generations to come.
I'm Dr. Krysta Svore, General Manager
of Quantum Systems and Software at Microsoft.
And I'm Dr. Julie Love,
Senior Director of Quantum Business Development.
Krysta and I will be your ambassadors
to the world of quantum.
Where the field is today, what the future holds,
and how people are using quantum solutions
to address some of the world's toughest challenges.
This is Quantum Impact.
In this series,
Julie and I will be speaking with researchers,
educators, students, and industry leaders
from various fields to learn
how they are already seeing a difference
with quantum solutions.
But first, let's unpack quantum computing.
Quantum computing applies the properties
of quantum physics to the processing of information.
A quantum computer is build with quantum bits, or qubits.
Whereas a bit in a classical computer
holds a binary value of zero or one,
a qubit can hold a combination of both values.
When we use more bits in a classical computer,
the compute power grows linearly
with the number of bits.
With qubits, every time we add a qubit
to the quantum computer, the amount of information
that we can compute with doubles,
and so the processing power grows exponentially.
We use the wave-like nature of quantum particles
to compute in superposition,
processing multiple values simultaneously,
and taking advantage of quantum interference.
By deepening our understanding
of how quantum computers solve intractable problems,
we've made breakthroughs that enable quantum solutions
to run on classical hardware,
yielding immediate advantages,
and what's exciting is that those solutions
will be even faster when run
on full-scale quantum computers.
This exponentially faster and more powerful
computing will accelerate the development
of new sustainable materials,
improved healthcare, methods to address food production,
and combat climate change.
At Microsoft Quantum,
we are building the quantum future,
and empowering people, developers, and organizations
to experience quantum impact today.
Together with a global quantum community,
we're building a scalable quantum system and ecosystem.
We're designing a revolutionary topological qubit,
we've made breakthroughsin cryogenic engineering,
open sourced our quantum development kit
and programming language, Q#,
and we've introduced a full stack open cloud ecosystem
with Azure Quantum, bringing forward quantum solutions,
software, and hardware for everyone to learn,
build, and solve with quantum today.
These advances are bringing the promise
of quantum to our world right now,
and we're seeing the results take shape.
Join us as we tackle big issues
in chemistry, healthcare, environmental science,
and education, uncovering how quantum is being use today,
and will be used tomorrow to change our world.
