Quantum Computing Day 1:
Introduction to Quantum Computing

These talks look at the topic of quantum computing from mathematical, engineering and neurobiological perspectives, and we attempt to present the material so that the base concepts can be understood by listeners with no background in quantum physics.

Quantum Computing Day 2:
Image Recognition with an Adiabatic Quantum Computer

This video begins by explaining how D-Wave quantum processors work and the decisions that led to the architecture chosen.  He then goes on to mapping image matching problems to a quantum processor.  It finishes with a discussion about the similarity between pattern recognition and machine learning.

Quantum Computing Day 3:
Does an Explanation of Higher Brain Function require...

This tech talk series explores the enormous opportunities afforded by the emerging field of quantum computing. The exploitation of quantum phenomena not only offers tremendous speed-ups for important algorithms but may also prove key to achieving genuine synthetic intelligence.

Revolutionizing optimization and search using quantum computers accessed via web services

D-Wave has built a system for solving hard optimization and search problems. The core of the system is a superconducting adiabatic quantum computer. Dr. Geordie Rose explains how the system works, and D-Wave plans for deployment of a set of APIs for applications developers.
