Abstract: In this talk I will give a broad introduction to quantum computing and quantum annealing, starting with the definition of a quantum bit (qubit). I will explain the working principles of quantum annealing as well as gate-based quantum computers and describe the programming of such devices. Additionally, I will present some of our work at JSC regarding simulations of quantum computers and applications on the D-Wave quantum annealer.
