At this week's Inside Quantum Technology conference, I had the privilege to moderate the "Quantum Software" panel and discuss with world-class speakers from the quantum software ecosystem: Christopher Savoie, CEO and founder of Zapata Computing, Damien Nguyen, physicist and software engineer/researcher at Huawei ProjectQ, and Adriaan Rol, director Research & Development at Orange Quantum Systems.
US-based Zapata Computing is offering a platform to run classical and quantum workflows in complex hybrid environments that can be found in large enterprises. "It's not just the algorithm itself, but it's the entire environment; we work from the user's problem all the way down to the hardware layer to be able to offer that advantage as the hardware emerges," said Savoie.
Huawei Technologies is developing its own software stack for quantum computing. "We provide support to have possibly multiple types of hardware that you can use to solve the problems," said Nguyen. "My involvement is mainly on the compiler side."
