Abstract: Several independent groups have demonstrated small-scale quantum computers containing several dozens of qubits with limited practical applications. Yet, the promise of quantum computing is huge, and it could lead to several break-throughs in science, technology, and industry. Quantum algorithms are fundamentally different and provide a different way of thinking that can also applied to classical computing systems where we can use them today. We propose to bring the community of industry and academic researchers and users together to discuss recent results and ideas for the way forward.
