Session Overview

Hardware, Software, and Beyond: Navigating the Quantum Computing Revolution.

In this comprehensive session, L Venkata Subramaniam explores the profound shift from classical to quantum computing, highlighting the limitations of classical systems in simulating complex molecular structures and chemical reactions. By leveraging qubits, quantum computers offer the potential to solve previously intractable problems—such as modeling the exact energy configuration of a caffeine molecule—cutting computational time from billions of years to mere hours.

Beyond theoretical physics, the session dives into real-world enterprise applications across industries, demonstrating quantum use cases from battery material discovery at Mercedes-Benz to gate scheduling optimization for Delta Air Lines. Furthermore, it provides an exclusive look at India's National Quantum Mission (NQM), showcasing the country's robust talent pool and the development of indigenous, open-access quantum hardware like the Bharat Quantum Reference Facilities.
