2022
Culverhouse Business
Analytics Symposium

Prior to 2016, IBM was in the Quantum Science phase creating the fundamental theory and the physical building blocks of quantum computing. Since 2016, we have been in the Quantum Ready phase engaging the world to prepare for the quantum computing era. Now in 2021, we are at the cusp of the next Quantum Advantage phase showing a commercial advantage by solving real-world problems with quantum computers. IBM is the leader by far in this space with 300,000 users running over 1.4B quantum circuits per day using the 34 quantum computers deployed up to date. In this session, we will first describe some generic applications of quantum computing in areas such as cryptography, drug discovery, 3d imaging, etc. Thereafter, we will focus on artificial intelligence (AI) applications of quantum computing which make up more than 90% of the industry today. We welcome you to join us in this journey.
