About this event

While classical computing has revolutionized our world, it faces limitations for complex problems in materials science, drug discovery, and cryptography. This talk explores Quantum Computing (QC) as a promising alternative.

In the first part, we'll discuss the need for a new approach and the potential of QC. We'll delve into the current state and limitations of this emerging technology.

The second part focuses on QC from a software perspective, geared towards students of classical computing. We'll explore how QC works through software, data encoding, program creation, and result measurement/decoding. We'll even tackle solving a simple problem from scratch on a quantum computer, showcasing the power and complexities involved.

By the end, you'll gain a foundational understanding of QC software and its potential to revolutionize computing, along with a taste of the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.

⚛️ See you on Thursday, 11 April 2024 at 12:00 PM GMT for this unique opportunity to expand your knowledge in this field!
