Programming the world's first quantum computers using Forest
Featuring William Zeng
The first scalable universal quantum computers are now available, such as the 19 qubit processor built by Rigetti Computing. In this talk, Dr. Zeng will introduce a freely available open-source environment (Forest) for programming these devices.Forest is optimized for hybrid quantum/classical...
