Cryogenics for Quantum computing
09h00 - 09h30In this session, Dr. Harriet van der Vliet will share an introduction into the products designed by Oxford Instruments NanoScience for the quantum computing industry. Harriet will highlight key features, specifically Oxford Instruments’ Secondary Insert capabilities; fast sample exchange, and its innovative software feature set. She will review its suitability for quantum computing applications and scale up. In addition, Harriet will also introduce a new larger Proteox system which is perfect for today’s qubit scale-up applications.

QAssign: Quantum Enhanced High Performance Workload Scheduling
09h30 - 10h00High performance computing (HPC) relies on solving many known-hard computational tasks to efficiently schedule massive workloads onto many distinct CPUs and GPUs. QAssign is a quantum computing application that computes an optimal mapping for a component of SLURM (Simple Linux Utility for Resource Management), the most popular HPC open-source resource management framework. With this demo, we go through an introduction to HPC scheduling and understand QAssign’s novel approach to solving it and explore how it allows the user to setup and solve their own custom use case.

Quantum computers will change the hacking game but we can change the rules with biometric identity
11h30 - 12h00Attend this session to:
- Understand why identity should be considered uniquely when planning for a quantum-safe ecosystem
- Discuss the use of biometrics as your best first defense against unauthorised access
Speakers:
- Philip Black, Commercial Director;
- Christopher Arnold, Strategic Business Development -
A 12-mode universal quantum photonic processor
12h00 - 12h30Quantum photonic processors are the central piece of hardware of quantum photonic computational devices that hold great promises for, e.g., Quantum Information Processing, Quantum Chemistry and Machine Learning. Thanks to our low-loss, fully-reconfigurable and plug-and-play technology based on Silicon Nitride waveguides we have built the largest quantum photonic processor to date. We present here our 12-mode universal quantum photonic processor providing high-fidelity operations and we give an overview of our technology and products.

Quantum Computing for Combinatorial Optimization
14h30 - 15h00Combinatorial optimization problems have a critical impact on all industries: from smart grids management to portfolio optimization or logistics. Most of them are NP-complete and are thus hard to address both accurately and rapidly using classical optimization tools like exact solvers or heuristics. Quantum Computing could bring more efficient resolution methods for these problems.
Xavier Geoffret, Quantum Computing pre-sale leader and Sabine Keravel, Quantum product manager will elaborate on how Atos can support organizations in exploring new resolutions path for their optimization use cases using two different approaches: gate-based Quantum Computing and Quantum Annealing.
They will provide an overview of a practical optimization workflow relying on the Atos Quantum Learning Machine’s main features: a universal and accessible programming environment, hardware constraint optimizers, advanced noisy and noiseless simulation capabilities.

Qilimanjaro's Coherent Quantum Annealing for real-world use cases
15h30 - 16h00Adiabatic quantum computing is able to solve complex optimization problems. Qilimanjaro's approach to adiabatic quantum computing ensures coherence of the quantum states during the computation. This provides for a natural error protection mechanism, allowing the application of Qilimanjaro's quantum hardware to interesting problems even with a reduced number of qubits. Interesting use cases of this technology for problem optimization in business applications will be presented.

Quantum Technologies at VTT
16h00 - 16h30Quantum technologies are the next disruptive ICT innovation. The explosive growth of IoT devices and the enormous volume of data generated globally over the last decade lead to a need for better solutions in devices and in computation. Quantum technologies provide potential solution for better, smaller, cheaper devices and faster, efficient computation through Quantum computers. At VTT and Finland we develop devices and sensors for Quantum 2.0 and are also engaged in developing and building scalable quantum computers. Finland is already making strategic investments with a pragmatic approach to Quantum technologies. In my talk I’ll showcase some of the ongoing activities at VTT and Finland and talk about our strategic path towards a quantum revolution.
