Getting Started with Quantum Computing authors outline what the tech may be able to do for you, but also how it might empower your enemies!
Synopsis
In a world rapidly being reshaped by digital technology, it is essential to understand the development and implications of quantum computing, and the need for post-quantum cryptography.
This webinar will help you prepare for quantum computing’s arrival, explaining key technologies and the journey from bits to qubits which represents a fundamental shift in how we process information. It will also explore quantum algorithms and key use cases, applicable to a range of scenarios, as well as security impacts and implications for post-quantum cryptography.
Attendees will gain an appreciation for what quantum computing may be able to do for them, but also how it might empower their enemies..!
Who should attend:
Open to BCS members and non-members, whether you’re a developer, policymaker, or simply intrigued by the future. This webinar will outline key guidance to help you prepare for the quantum revolution.
