Hosted by QUBIC’s Quantum Life Sciences Consortium (QLSC), this  workshop is an introduction to Quantinuum’s compute platform, which consists of its hardware system and the full-stack developer platform. This will cover operational aspects of the hardware, an introduction to the Guppy programming Language, the Nexus platform and information on how to access the compute platform for your research. Additionally, we will present key demonstrated use cases and customer success stories. We will conclude with a demonstration of the platform, summarise the key offerings and how to access them, and then link to relevant technical documentation or ecosystem engagement programs. Note: the Guppy presentation may include an optional hands-on component.

Presenters
Mr Irfan Khan, Lead Applications Engineer
Dr Suen Whei Yeap, Scientific Project Manager
