Ever wanted to look under the hood of a quantum computer? Or see how quantum computing might dramatically improve investment simulations? The Emerging Tech team has just published two new explorations of quantum computing, with insights into how it works and how it may impact financial services.

“What’s A Qubit” Quantum Experience
Our virtual reality presentation allows you to fly through a quantum computer at the size of a single molecule and observe the fundamental building blocks of quantum computing.
Launch the VR experience and go inside a quantum computer here.

“Monte Carlo” Quantum Simulation Optimization problems are the type of challenge that quantum computers are uniquely designed to address. To help prepare for this new technology, FCAT is exploring optimization algorithms and implementations that are likely to deliver the most value. View the simulation here.

"What’s A Qubit” Quantum VR

“What’s a Qubit?” is a virtual reality experience designed to teach fundamental building blocks of quantum computing through a virtual reality immersive experience. The experience allows you to fly through a quantum computer at the size of a single molecule and witness the truly strange world of quantum mechanics up close. Before reviewing the project, experience "What's A Qubit?" here. Quantum computing is fundamentally different from the classical computers we are used to using today. How quantum computers represent and process information is completely different than their classical counterparts so the types of problems that can be solved with a quantum computer are also different. This application is a step towards starting to understand some of these fundamental differences so that we can start to identify problems for these new machines. Virtual reality is an effective way to create a learning experience. Unlike videos and articles, we believe that a multisensory experience that includes visuals, audio, haptics, and control, will create a lasting memory by teaching in a way that no other medium can achieve.

Solving Problems Differently with Quantum Computing

There has been a lot of news about how quantum computers will change computing as we know it. That said, a general-purpose quantum computer that will have the capability of replacing the classical computers we use every day may perpetually be out of reach. At Fidelity, we do not need to wait for a general-purpose quantum computer. There are a few specific types of problems that quantum computers will likely be able to tackle in the near term and optimization problems just so happen to be one of those types of problems. FCAT is positioning Fidelity to be able to leverage this new technology the moment it becomes viable by exploring the optimization algorithms and implementations that have the most potential to deliver value to Fidelity and our customers.
