Quantum Computing: Making a quantum leap into the future

Adam Hammond
IBM Quantum Distinguished Ambassador, London, UK

Data Science with AI created a software paradigm and inevitably follows it with an advanced hardware quantum computing paradigm for further development! This evolution marks a significant shift in contemporary scientific research within the domain of Data Science, encompassing Big Data, AI, High-Performance Computing (HPC), and Quantum Computing (QC), which represent by Information and Communication Science and Technology (ICST). These fields increasingly depend on sophisticated distributed computing systems that offer substantial computational power. In light of current technological advancements, the demand for HPC and QC in scientific research stems from their unparalleled ability to handle vast datasets, execute complex simulations, address previously unsolvable challenges, and foster interdisciplinary studies. This, in turn, propels advancements across various scientific domains, highlighting the critical role of these computing paradigms in driving forward scientific innovation and discovery.
