Title: What Makes a Quantum Use Case Worth Pursuing Assessing business value and technical feasibility

Description: 

Organizations in research-intensive industries already make computational compromises: approximating, sampling, capping the number of scenarios they evaluate, because the exact answer is out of reach. These compromises are the first signal of where quantum might help. Identifying them is a business question, not a physics one.

The seminar is about how to do this well, and how to decide which candidates are worth pursuing, using a framework PINQ² has developed to assess quantum use cases for both business value and technical feasibility.

Bio

Madhavi Mantha is Chief of Strategy & Partnerships at PINQ², Canada’s first hybrid quantum-classical computing platform, serving university and industry users across Canada.

She brings 30 years at the intersection of business and technology: partner at global consulting firms (Deloitte, IBM), Chief Architect at a leading Canadian bank (National Bank), and a go-to-market executive at AI startups including Element AI. One question runs through all of it: how do organizations capture value from emerging technology, and how and where do they start?

She developed PINQ²’s framework for evaluating quantum use cases, which pairs a business-value assessment with a technical feasibility analysis to help organizations decide where to focus. Her approach to quantum is shaped by a decade of watching AI adoption succeed and fail on one principle: it’s never about the technology itself, but about solving real problems with technology as an enabler.
