8M Conference: present and future of quantum software
On March 8, 2023, he visits us Guido Peterssen Nodarse, Founder of aQuantum & CEO, R&D Director of alhambraIT, to give the conference Present and Future of Quantum Software. Mr. Peterssen has extensive experience as a Researcher, as a University Professor, as well as Director of Software companies and Technical Training Centers. Almost a life dedicated to designing and managing practical and real software solutions. An extended vocation to quantum software.
conference summary
Quantum computing is possible thanks to the convergence of Quantum Mechanics, Mathematics and Computer Science. The intersection of these disciplines has given rise to a new computing paradigm, disruptive of everything we know about computing and software development. Therefore, for those of us who come from classic software, this new paradigm forces us to get out of the professional comfort zones in which we find ourselves and begin a very particular, and exciting journey, in different fields of scientific, technological and technical knowledge.
The first thing that those interested in getting started in quantum software development should keep in mind is that, in order to design and develop quality quantum software, one must master the principles of quantum computing and be aware that this is essential for be able to achieve the specific skills required to develop quantum software.
The conference will address some relevant aspects of quantum software:
• The new paradigm of quantum computing and the degrees of maturity of its adoption
• Quantum illiteracy, some practical ways to overcome it and the quantum job market.
• The most determining conditions for developing quantum software (quantum computers and simulators, quantum programming languages, quantum software development kits, development platforms, etc.).
• The importance of applying good software engineering practices for the development of professional quantum software.
• The coexistence of classical IT with quantum IT: hybrid quantum/classical software systems
• Quantum software applications
• The impact of quantum technology on the business of software development
In the short and medium term, the development of the labor market demanded by the nascent quantum software industry will depend, to a large extent, on the increase in the supply of training in Software Engineering and Quantum Programming. This situation offers unusual opportunities for future engineers and programmers who agree to face the scientific, technological and technical challenge implicit in the design and development of quantum software.
** Graphic material
For the design of the image associated with the news, the image generator with AI has been used midjourney, which has been asked to generate a possible quantum computer of the future for personal use (currently they do not exist). As a curiosity, a selection of the generated images is shown, among which is the one finally chosen.
