  1. Quantum Algorithms (2:52).

    "Which problems can quantum computers solve exponentially faster than classical computers? David Gosset, IBM quantum computing research scientist, explains why algorithms are key to finding out."

  2. Benchmarking Quantum Systems (1:58)

    "As we build ever larger quantum computers capable of performing increasingly complex algorithms, it is important to define a metric to quantify their power. IBM quantum computing research scientist Lev Bishop has defined a new metric called Quantum Volume that characterizes what a quantum computer is capable of “calculating.” The metric is architecturally neutral and can be applied to all types of quantum systems."
