About the Talk
We have witnessed the rapid progress of algorithms for near-term quantum devices since IBM released them for public use in 2016. This talk will introduce the contribution of IBM Quantum Hubs at the Univ. of Tokyo and Keio Univ. collaborating with Japan leading companies for advancing the frontier of quantum algorithms and making them closer to business applications. The first part of the talk will present an overview of the activities at the hubs. The second part of the talk will give more technical details on the achievements of the hubs, including, our approach to encode discrete features with qubits and better variational algorithms that enable us to solve the largest instances of MaxCut problems ever performed on gate-based quantum computers.
