Quantum Computing: Why we should and how we can better compute the future

Quantum Computing attracts more and more interest but I myself have been in a position of complete confusion on the topic two years ago. So, I would love to structure the available information a little bit and boil it down to two things in more detail: hardware and software.

• What does it currently mean to build and use a quantum device?
• Which main frameworks are there to develop algorithms and test them on simulators or real devices?

New research findings and direct application examples will be definitely included, as I did not manage to address the most important question – the "Why?" – in Vienna thoroughly. But most importantly, I look forward to an engaging Q&A and I am curious to learn form your ideas and about your perspective on quantum computing.
