“We would love to be able to prove algorithms are going to be better on a quantum machine - and in some cases, you can prove these types of things, and that gives us quite a bit of certainty,” Svore began. Svore also declared a call to action for enterprises, users and developers to migrate to the quantum cloud if they haven’t already done so, but - at the same time - continue using the classical tools they “know and love”, as Svore believes classical programs, tools and apps will never be fully replaced by quantum, but enhanced, accelerated and augmented by the new technology.Īnother problem we put to Svore in regard to roadblocks in the successful adoption of quantum across the board is the frustrating situation where the industry doesn’t have the underlying quantum hardware to test the efficacy of the newly designed algorithms. And you can start engaging with that now.” We want to build that “quantum app store”. “With Azure Quantum we want to democratize quantum. Microsoft wants to empower the world with the best compute capability.” And from an end-user perspective, I just want the best capability. Azure is the world’s computer and whether it’s running GPU, CPU or QPU - all of these options underneath - you just want to make sure it can run and solve your problem. “Ultimately, said Svore, “it’s very hybrid. The focus then moved to an end state, where Microsoft sees access in the value chain for end-users of its product stack: Svore sees that Microsoft’s strategy - which is already happening - is one where quantum computers are seamlessly integrated into the cloud, though she admits that currently, the machines aren’t yet at scale to run large instances. Now, many elements of those you can make hardware agnostic - and that’s a good thing… That’s good stack design.”

We’re developing the algorithms, the software layers, the compiler stack, the run-time, and the machine. “When you think about the machine, you also want to co-design that machine with the software. “I don’t see it as risk management I see it as essential,” she began. If their approach to building useful quantum computers doesn’t work, they will still have capabilities across the quantum technology stack. We then asked Svore whether the building out of Microsoft’s full-stack capabilities was part of a risk management strategy. We have a diverse set of machines available at Azure Quantum through a single cloud service, through a single set of code,” said Svore. We need more people building quantum machines. We need more people building applications. “We have Azure Quantum, which is a platform for performing quantum research and discovery. Part of Microsoft’s strategy has not only been directed towards investment in the hardware and software stack but in its cloud platform, Azure, too. This groundbreaking work was published in a Microsoft blog post back in March. This is achieved by creating and sustaining a quantum phase with Majorana zero modes and a measurable topological gap removes the biggest obstacle to producing a unique type of qubit, called a topological qubit.

Svore then explained that over the last few months Microsoft has demonstrated a key component of this by showing on a series of devices “elusive physics” that builds the groundwork for this foundation for scaling up a quantum machine. From the beginning, we’ve thought about what can this be used for,” said Svore, highlighting the importance of architecting a complete stack. “First and foremost, what we’ve done is invest in quantum computing - from the machine to the software to the algorithm. Svore began by saying Microsoft’s quantum program Azure was fully focused on unlocking solutions to challenging problems. While Svore’s keynote was enlightening, it was during The Quantum Insider’s private interview with her that we got to ask some really interesting questions. She believes - like many in the audience including The Quantum Insider’s representatives - in a Quantum Future, a future that will “graduate from qubits to profit” and make the world a better place. Yet, as a scientist, Svore is confident science will find a way. These, she said, will be Herculean challenges. At the beginning of Krysta Svore’s keynote speech at The Economist Impact event in London this May, the “Distinguished Engineer” and VP of Quantum Software at Microsoft began by talking about the magnitude of challenges her daughter and others of her generation are about to inherit:
