Quantum Computing: The next new technology in computing

Quantum computing is rapidly becoming commercially feasible. Many tech giants - Google, IBM, Honeywell, and Microsoft - are spending billions to far outpace Moore's Law. Last year achieved the major milestone of Quantum Supremacy where it was shown that a quantum computer could greatly outperform a classical computer. Quantum computing offers the promise of solving problems which would be impossible for a classical computer including optimization, anomaly detection, and material design. It also allows unhackable communication.
In this presentation I will summarize what quantum computing is and why it is so important. I will sketch the landscape of the field including the hardware, software, and major customers at present. The tool most critical for data analysis - quantum machine learning - will be explained, along with the type of applications it is best suited for. Finally I will explain how you can take the first steps into leveraging quantum computing for your enterprise's benefit.

• What is quantum computing
• Who are the major players in the field
• What is quantum machine learning and what types of problems can it address
• How your company can take advantage of this
