Quantum Computing: What is it and how will it affect me? Presentation uri icon

Description

  • In this presentation, we will demonstrate what Quantum superposition is in an intuitive non-mathematical manner. We will attempt to convey why it is Quantum Computer can solve bigger problems in a way that classical computers cannot. We will explain how Quantum computers, when one big enough is built, will break the Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) as well as provide an alternative to PKI. And finally, we will discuss what Quantum computing can do for businesses.
