Making Photonic Quantum Computation Scalable Using Single Atom
Realizing the full benefits of quantum computing requires the development of large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computers, where photonics emerges as the most promising approach to accomplish this objective. One of the major hurdles in realizing large-scale photonic quantum computers lies in the generation of single photons and entangling gates. Quantum Source has developed a unique solution that significantly outperforms conventional methods in terms of efficiency, enabling the development of quantum computers with millions of qubits operating at room temperature.

Lessons learned: Navigating the Quantum Security Landscape at Fidelity Investments
Although quantum security technologies already can be applied for the long-term protection of valuable assets, current level of their implementation enables limited support for building quantum ready enterprise security systems. This presentation describes: + implementation of specific uses cases where we were able to successfully apply both QKD and PQC for securing data and processes. + integration of quantum security solutions into the enterprise infrastructure. + challenges we encountered along the road and how we addressed them. + rationale for the custom implementation of the hybrid of the key management system (KMS).

Quantum Algorithmic Design of Therapeutics Against Drug-Resistant Infections
Quantum computing (QC) has the potential to revolutionize medicine. However, how QC can be applied to important medical challenges remains unclear. Herein we map the problem of designing therapeutics against multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) onto a quantum circuit and develop a hybrid classical-quantum algorithm to accelerate and improve design of probiotics and prebiotics against MDROs. By dramatically improving the speed and efficacy of development of biotherapeutics for MDROs we aim to promote global health in the post-antibiotic era.

Quantum Extreme Learning Machines: Industrial and Societal Applications
Quantum Extreme Learning Machines (QELMs) adapt classical extreme learning machines for quantum computing, offering faster training with fewer features and potentially improved accuracy. This talk presents the applications of QELMs in an industrial caseand two real-world systems from the Norwegian public sector (Cancer Registry and Oslo City). It also discusses challenges, future research directions, and other planned applications.

Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation Leverages Q-CTRL to Unlock New Performance Capabilities in Quantum Chemistry
Q-CTRL’s Fire Opal helped Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation set new records for performance in quantum chemistry using quantum phase estimation (QPE). This case study introduces a quantum algorithm for energy gap estimation in materials, leveraging a quantum phase difference estimation (QPDE) approach and tensor network-based unitary compression. It aims to improve the efficiency of QPE by reducing gate overheads, which is crucial for large-scale simulations.
