Quantum computing is moving from theory to practice—and Python is at the center of this shift. In this talk, we’ll explore Qiskit, open-source quantum SDK, and show how Python developers can already start shaping the future of computing. You’ll learn what quantum computing is, where it stands today, and why it matters for the Python community.
Quantum computing is often seen as complex and distant, but in reality it’s becoming a practical field where Python is the gateway language. This talk introduces the core ideas of quantum computing and demonstrates how they are implemented through Qiskit, the leading open-source quantum SDK.
I will cover:
Why quantum computing matters and how it differs from classical computing.
The role of Python and Qiskit in making quantum accessible.
Concrete examples of applications in optimization, AI, finance, and Health Care and Life Sciences.
The current state of quantum hardware and software—and what’s next. On the example of IBM's road map.
Why developers and organizations need to prepare now for a quantum future.
Anna works at the intersection of AI and quantum computing at IBM, helping developers and organizations understand both the opportunities and risks of these new fields. With a background in data science, entrepreneurship, and technology strategy, Anna focuses on making quantum computing accessible through Qiskit and open-source tools. Anna served as a judge for the Nordic Women in Tech Awards 2025, and regularly speaks on how future technologies can create real-world impact.
Anna is an AI Technical Specialist, Quantum Ambassador, and Qiskit Advocate at IBM.
