Abstract: Quantum information science holds the potential to revolutionize computation, communication, and sensing. Despite recent progress, significant challenges remain to make quantum technology practical and scalable. In this talk, I will highlight my research on simulating open quantum systems, benchmarking quantum devices, and developing efficient quantum algorithms. I will also discuss the physics of different qubits, methods for characterizing and verifying them, and quantum algorithms for chemistry. Finally, I will outline my plans to tackle the remaining challenges and bring practical quantum computing closer to reality.
