Quantum Curious? Your Cloud Native Launchpad for K8s-based Quantum Simulations

Explore quantum computing fundamentals through this beginner-friendly conference talk that demonstrates how to leverage cloud-native technologies for quantum simulations. Learn to create your first quantum circuits using accessible open-source Python libraries like Cirq and Qiskit, then discover how to containerize these Python-based simulations and deploy them on Kubernetes clusters. Watch a live demonstration of running a basic containerized quantum simulation as a standard Kubernetes Job, showcasing practical deployment strategies in modern cloud environments. Understand the scalability roadmap for quantum workloads, including advanced management through CNCF tools like Kueue for Kubernetes-native queueing and integration with HPC schedulers such as Slurm for handling larger batch workloads. Gain a comprehensive understanding of the progression from writing your first Python quantum script to running sophisticated quantum simulations on Kubernetes, with clear guidance on tackling increasingly complex challenges using open, cloud-native approaches.
