Quantum Impact: Computing a more sustainable future (Ep. 1)

Feb 21, 2020


While quantum computing may seem like the next frontier, its foundations have actually been around for billions of years—in the natural world. This episode of Quantum Impact explores the ways in which we can tap into nature’s organic systems and processes to help solve some of today’s most pressing issues around climate change and environmental sustainability.

Join Dr. Julie Love, senior director of quantum business development at Microsoft, and Lucas Joppa, Microsoft’s chief environmental officer, as they discuss the complex problem of land use optimization, one environmental challenge that can be addressed through quantum solutions.

Quantum Impact: Teaching the next generation of quantum

Feb 28, 2020


The school of quantum computing is now in session. According to LinkedIn, quantum-related job postings have increased 180% and major universities play a key role in developing the next generation of quantum programmers, scientists, engineers and researchers.

This episode of Quantum Impact takes place at the University of Washington, one of Microsoft’s partners in the Northwest Quantum Nexus and home of the QuantumX initiative. Our host, Dr. Krysta Svore, general manager of quantum systems and software at Microsoft, sits down with Professor Kai-Mei Fu, an experimental physics researcher and professor focusing on advanced quantum technologies. Kai-Mei and Krysta discuss their paths to discovering the field of quantum and then, Krysta speaks with students around campus about their quantum research. Finally, they offer advice to students who are interested in exploring quantum as a career path.

Quantum Impact: Bringing the power of quantum to chemistry (Ep. 3)

Mar 13, 2020


Chemistry helps make up our world – yet there is still a lot we don’t know. Because our most powerful classical computers are limited in the chemical modeling they can perform, so are the solutions they can unlock. But quantum computing could change that. On this episode of Quantum Impact, Dr. Krysta Svore, general manager of quantum systems and software at Microsoft, heads to Richland, Washington to meet with Dr. Nathan Baker and Dr. Bojana Ginovska at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL).

Microsoft is partnering with PNNL to bring the power of quantum to our understanding of chemistry. One of PNNL’s areas of interest is catalysis, or the process of converting chemicals from one form to another, and Nathan shares the complexity involved in truly understanding that process. Bojana, a computational chemist, then speaks with Krysta about her work studying nitrogenase, an enzyme present in healthy soil. She’s exploring how we can turn nitrogen into ammonia for agriculture in a way that doesn’t deplete our energy resources.

Together with PNNL, Microsoft is working to develop quantum algorithms to help solve challenging problems in chemistry, which will have hugely positive impacts on our world and our planet’s future.

Quantum Machine Learning and Azure Quantum

Apr 28, 2020


Alex Bocharov (https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexei-bocharov-4342572), Principal Researcher at Microsoft Quantum Systems group and Chris Granade, Senior Research Software Development Engineer join Vadim Karpusenko to discuss the impact of Quantum Computing on the Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence domains. Touching briefly on decade-old pioneering results in Quantum Machine Learning, the story switches to describe more recent technologies meant for near term generation of smaller "noisy" quantum computers. The second part of the interview showcases how you can get started using quantum machine learning with Q# and the QML library provided with the Microsoft Quantum Development Kit.
