Title: When will I get a quantum computer and what can I do with it?

Abstract: Quantum computers have the potential to outperform classical computers on certain classes of problems and solve problems that are intractable even on any future (classical) supercomputer. There has been steady  development of the hardware of quantum computers in recent years and the technology is edging ever closer to commercialization. Many of these small scale quantum computers are accessible through cloud interfaces today. The objective of this presentation is to give an overview of the field both on the hardware and the software/algorithm side.
