Abstract
Nowadays, more and more world-class companies aware the potential of
quantum computing, they start to cooperate with top universities and quantum
computing software companies to develop and design computing platform
hybrid by CPU, GPU and QPU systems. As the number of qubits increasing, algorithms
designed by collocation of classical and quantum system will surely be able to take
advantage in solving exponential problems. Quantum-related research needs to integrate
talents from interdisciplinarity (such as physics, mathematics, chemistry, and
engineering, etc.). The government, academia, and enterprises must prioritize facing the
shortage of talent and cultivate new talents in fields of science, technology, engineering,
and mathematics. And need to implement measure to recruit and retain the suitable
talents.
With quantum-inspired computing (digital annealing) and QUBO model, the time
cost of screening decreases to 1/10 ~1/15. Significantly benefit materials development
and functional molecules selections. In summary, interdisciplinarity is the key of
quantum computing applications, which makes team members share core concepts of
the quantum research.
Furthermore, proceeding knowledge of team and raising new talents and
eventually, flourishing ideas of innovation will emerge and put into practice.
