QuantInTech Quantum Computing Summit

Full scale quantum computers are on the horizon, but this leap presents a threat to the security of cryptography.

Why should we be discussing this now? Is there enough time to safeguard against this threat and who should be responsible in monitoring this?

Helena Handschuh, Securities and Technologies Fellow at Rambus joins us to discuss cryptography security in a post-Quantum era.

We also talk about research in power analysis, side-channel attacks and building prototypes!

Not only is quantum computing the next big thing, but it will be shaping the next technology trends for years to come. That’s the thought of Alexei Kondratyev, Managing Director and Global Head of Data Analytics at Standard Chartered Bank.

We also look at quantum partnerships, adiabatic quantum computing models and agile benchmarking standards.

To kick-start our series, and to contextualize the state of the quantum computing marketplace, we sat down with Keith Kirkpatrick, Principal Analyst for research firm Omdia.

Keith's work covers artificial intelligence and advanced computing technologies, including high-performance computing technology and quantum computing, but we asked him to take us back to basics to review ‘what is quantum computing?’ in its current iteration, including the current restrictions on keeping Qubits cool and whether the cost of superfast computing is even sustainable in a business environment.

We’ll also touch on Google, quantum supremacy and how to judge who is winning in the quantum computing race.
