Biography:
Dr. Wen-Sen (Vincent) Lu joined IBM Quantum as a Research Scientist since 2021, and his research focuses on designs and simulations on large-scale quantum processors with superconducting circuits and flip-chip architectures. Before he came to US, he served in tsmc R&D for two and a half years on implementing three-dimensional IC stacking (3DIC)technology into fingerprint sensors for consumer electronics and participated in the invention of 3DIC packages enabling foundry level wafer packaging with a US patent.
In addition to the research efforts, Wen-Sen devotes his spare energy into promoting quantum education to general audience. As an Qiskit advocate, he actively participates in hackathons and game jams to collaborate with quantum enthusiastic, where he served as mentor, coach, or judge on various events globally. With the background in quantum hardware and interests in quantum education, Wen-Sen dedicates his skill and passion to grow together with the next generation quantum workforce.
Session Title: Marching towards full-stack and frictionless quantum user experience
Abstract:
Research in quantum information science has dramatically grown and matured over the past few years, transitioning from a purely academic interest to one with practical applications and industry involvements. As the scale and quality of quantum hardware being gradually improved over the error correction threshold these days, needs on practical performance metrics such as scaling, clock speeds, and hardware agnostic methodologies emerges as these are major references when introducing cloud-based quantum service to solve real life problems at scale. It is, furthermore, desired that contemporary users can work in an obstacle-free computing landscape while leveraging quantum services seamlessly alongside other cloud and storage solutions, as coined as “frictionless quantum experience”.
In this session we focus our discussion on a near future aiming for full-stack and frictionless quantum user experience, and we have our privilege to invite three experts from quantum information industry to share their thoughts. From the challenges in scaling quantum hardware and interfacing quantum-classical hybrid computation to a lookout for hardware agnostic quantum algorithms and the potential applications, we attempt to present our audience a holographic view of contemporary quantum solution development.
