IBM is set to host its inaugural Quantum Developer Conference from November 13-15, 2024, at the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights, New York. The event, “Performance by Qiskit,” will bring together developers and researchers worldwide to preview forthcoming updates to IBM’s quantum roadmap and get hands-on experience with state-of-the-art software tools.
Jay Gambetta, VP of IBM Quantum, will deliver the annual quantum state-of-the-union address, which has previously debuted milestone achievements such as the IBM Quantum System Two and the 133-qubit Heron processor. The conference aims to empower quantum researchers and developers to extract maximum value from utility-scale quantum computers by building powerful software tools. Applications are open until September 30, 2024, with a limited number of spots available for this exclusive event.
Unlocking the Power of Quantum Computing: IBM Quantum Developer Conference 2024
The IBM Quantum Developer Conference 2024 is set to take place from November 13-15, 2024, at the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights, N.Y. This exclusive event aims to bring together developers from around the world to preview forthcoming updates to the IBM Quantum roadmap and get hands-on experience with state-of-the-art IBM Quantum software tools.
Empowering Quantum Researchers and Developers
As the quantum computing community pushes further into the era of quantum utility, it is crucial to empower researchers and developers to do useful work on current quantum hardware.
