Title: IBM Q and the future of quantum computing in the 21st century

Biography: Robert S. Sutor has been a technical executive in the IT industry for over 30 years. More than two decades of that have been spent in IBM Research. He also spent time on the software side of the business and looking after open source and standards. Sutor is a mathematician by training and has a Ph.D. from Princeton University and an undergraduate degree from Harvard College. His primary goal throughout my career has been to drive technology that has a positive impact on society through science. In addition to internal IBM leadership and executive positions and the occasional external activity mostly during his standards days, he doesn’t think we can change the industry with technology unless we explain it and its value in understandable terms. He is now an executive leader in IBM’s IBM Q quantum computing program. Areas in which he’s worked: quantum computing, AI, blockchain, mathematics and mathematical software, Linux, open source, standards management, product management and marketing, computer algebra, web standards.

Title: Quantum accelerators: What are they and how to develop them
