DESCRIPTION:It is common belief that "Quantum Computing is the
  future" as they present new and efficient ways of
  solving computationally-intensive problems. Promi
 ses of RSA-breaking complexity-theoretic speedups 
 incite interest in the industry. However\, the wor
 ld has not yet fallen into quantum madness in the 
 same way that the we see industrial obsessions wit
 h HPC and AI. So what's the hold-up? This talk wil
 l give a basic intuition for the advantages of Qua
 ntum Computing (no maths!!!) as well as a discussi
 on on the limitations of current devices and how(/
 if) we are dealing with them.
