This presentation will provide information on the D-Wave quantum computer system.
- How to solve and think about quantum problems
- How to program a quantum computer
The goal of this presentation is to expand attendees' understanding of quantum computing as implemented on the D-Wave System. The presentation focuses on the D-Wave hardware and software environments, and various programming options.
The presentation will be held June 9th, location:
Mercury Rd, Los Alamos, NM 87544 Physics Auditorium, 03-0040-0215 (Technical Area 3, Building 40, Room 215). Youi will need a LANL visitor badge if you have neither a LANL site-specific badge nor a DOE-wide HSPD-12 badge.
NOTE - Foreign nationals who do not have access to LANL's Physics Auditorium will not be able to attend in person, they're welcome to view the training remotely via video teleconferencing (e.g. Skype or WebEx.)
All remote attendees Please fill out the registration so we can mail out important notifications or changes to the schedule or call-in information.
A light breakfast will be available at 8:30 AM the presentation will begin at 9:00 AM ending at 5:00 PM with a 2-hour break for lunch.
We request you attend with a willingness to learn about novel programming models and explore a new paradigm of computing.
INSTRUCTOR:
Dr. Edward (Denny) Dahl received his PhD in physics from Stanford University and has worked in the field of high performance computing for three decades. He has held positions at Thinking Machines Corporation, Teradata and LLNL, and has provided consulting services to eBay, Wells Fargo, JP Morgan Chase and Bank of America. Denny joined D-Wave Systems in 2012. He will be discussing general principles of quantum computing, focusing on the D-Wave hardware and software environments and cover various programming options.
