Munich Quantum Software Forum 2023: Talk by Ivana Kurecic (Xanadu )

Title:
The future of differentiable quantum programming with PennyLane

Abstract:
Xanadu is a Canadian quantum computing company with the mission to build quantum computers that are useful and available to people everywhere. As one of the companies at the forefront of quantum hardware and software, Xanadu also leads the development of PennyLane, a Python-based open-source quantum software library built around the concept of differentiable programming. Attendees will learn about differentiable quantum programming and its role in application development for quantum computing, quantum chemistry, and quantum machine learning. By the end of the session, they will also have an understanding of Xanadu’s photonic architecture and learn about some of our key areas of research and development.
