IonQ (NYSE: IONQ), a leader in the quantum computing industry, announced today that Dr. Masako Yamada, Director of Applications Development, will speak at Inside Quantum Technology’s inaugural Quantum + AI Summit in New York City, taking place October 29-30, 2024. The first-time event brings together a dynamic lineup of speakers to address the challenges and opportunities at the intersection of quantum computing and AI, highlighting their complementary potential to drive innovation and efficiency, as well as showcase a behind-the-scenes look at applications and platforms being constructed.

Yamada, HPCwire’s People to Watch and applications expert with 20 years of experience in industrial R&D, will join a panel titled, “Emerging Markets for Quantum Machine Learning,” where she will discuss quantum machine learning developments and its potential to transform various industries. The panel will be moderated by Ethan Krimins, leader of Quantum Research Sciences (QRS). Interested attendees can register for the panel and event through the link here: https://iqtevent.com/quantumAI/register/.

The Quantum + AI Summit is taking place at a time when the convergence of quantum computing and artificial intelligence is poised to unlock new opportunities for industries worldwide. Earlier this year, IonQ teamed up with Oak Ridge National Laboratory to develop quantum optimization algorithms for the problem of optimizing the energy transport from producers to consumers. The company also collaborated with Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DESY) to explore the benefits of quantum computing for airport operations, such as flight-gate optimization. Quantum computing represents a revolutionary leap in problem-solving, and IonQ’s work across government, global business enterprises and academic institutions ensures that quantum computing is a safe technology by developing the necessary guardrails for this new and disruptive technology.

IonQ’s participation in this year’s summit follows recent announcements, contracts and research that highlight quantum’s potential for addressing real-world challenges. For instance, IonQ announced a new $54.5 million contract with the United States Air Force Research Lab to design, develop and deliver technology and hardware that enables the scaling, networking, and deployability of quantum systems.
