(35:01 + Q&A) Dr. Kathrin Spendier, Quantinuum -- Presentation from 2023 Workshop on Quantum Computing: Devices, Cryogenic Electronics and Packaging ...  (QC-DCEP)
Summary: Quantinuum, a full-stack quantum computing company, integrates state-of-the-art trapped-ion quantum computing hardware and software to deliver solutions across various applications, including drug discovery, materials science, and finance. The company serves as a center of gravity in the quantum computing world, fostering widespread collaboration. This is facilitated by the development of “TKET”, an open-source, architecture-agnostic quantum software development kit, including a state-of-the-art compiler. This technology enables partners, collaborators, and clients to operate seamlessly across multiple platforms, tackling some of the most complex and intriguing challenges in quantum computing.
Dr. Kathrin Spendier is a Quantum Evangelist at Quantinuum, where she promotes the company’s advanced open-source quantum software development kit, TKET. Her role involves active engagement with the quantum computing community, providing resources and support for users, and driving TKET’s adoption through educational outreach and community engagement. Prior to her role at Quantinuum, Dr. Spendier was an Associate Professor in the Physics Department at the University of Colorado Colorado Springs. During this time, she conducted extensive research in biophysical phenomena and condensed matter physics and developed and taught various undergraduate and graduate physics courses. Dr. Spendier holds a Ph.D. in Physics from the University of New Mexico.
