Two Projects Powered by QuEra Computing Contributions Move to Phase Three of Wellcome Leap's Quantum for Bio Challenge, Focused on Healthcare and Biology Applications
A team of undergraduates who excelled at MIT’s Quantum Hackathon are interviewed by Yuval Boger. They discuss their journey, the challenge they tackled—optimizing the “maximum independent set problem” on a quantum computer for machine learning applications—and their personal backgrounds and aspirations in quantum computing. They all exhibit a shared interest in leveraging quantum computing to solve complex problems and reflect on mentorship, teamwork, future career paths, and much more.
