About this event
*CPD points are allocated upon in person attendance for this event
While quantum computing attracts huge business and government investments and its research results are magnified by popular press, the expectations of practical breakthroughs in business applications of this emerging technology are incredibly high. This presentation dispels some of the common myths of quantum computing, explains its reality and some of the promises claimed by quantum technology vendors and researchers.
By walking through the fundamental principles of quantum computing, the currently used tools and practical applications, the seminar clears both the hype and negativity towards the new technology, and casts some light on its current trends, progress, and timelines.
The seminar clarifies some of the challenges faced by quantum hardware manufacturers, the gaps between quantum software functionality vs utility and productivity, difficulties in the transition of quantum applications from lab to practice, and the severity of skill shortages in the quantum computing market. Finally, software and application development opportunities for this technology are highlighted.
Join us at the Melbourne Innovation Hub in Docklands, Victoria for this Branch Forum and hear from guest speaker, Jacob Cybulski, Honorary Associate Professor in the School of Information Technology, Faculty of Science, Engineering and Built Environment at Deakin University, about the Opportunities and Challenges for Software Developers.
