Title: Accelerating Scientific Discovery with HPC, AI and Quantum Computing

Abstract:

Chemical and materials science impacts 96% of manufactured goods and 100% of humanity. Advancements in this space will enable scientists to help solve many of society’s most pressing problems and unlock unprecedented growth. However, to date, technology has not been able to deliver the scale, speed and accuracy required to rapidly accelerate progress. We are at a point where this seems to be about to change. I will explore how advancements in cloud technologies, artificial intelligence, high performance computing, and quantum computing are accelerating progress. As part of this, I will also share breakthroughs in molecular simulation in the cloud that are enabling new applications for computational chemists and materials scientists, advances in quantum computing, and how industrial scientists are getting started using these methods today.
