DESCRIPTION:PLEASE NOTE THE CHANGE OF ROOM. THE TALK WILL TAKE PLACE IN FW
 26\, NOT FW11.\n\nAbstract\n\nQuantum computing is an emerging new technol
 ogy which promises to completely change computing as we know it. In partic
 ular\, the advent of quantum computers poses a serious threat to cybersecu
 rity. Encryption methods hailed as ‘unbreakable’ by classical computer
 s can be cracked by quantum computers in a matter of hours. In this talk\,
  we will discuss the basics of quantum computing and how it could be used 
 to attack common encryption algorithms. We also introduce and evaluate the
  top candidates to replace our current encryption methods for a post-quant
 um era.\n\nSpeakers\n\nLeading this presentation is Data Reply’s Quantum
  Computing Consultant Anuj Doshi\, an Oxford alumnus who has been working 
 on quantum computing applications for over a year\, specializing in quantu
 m circuit architectures in machine learning. Joining him is recent Cambrid
 ge graduate Vasundhara Prasad\, who has previously worked on financial use
 s of gate-based quantum computing and is now working on other quantum comp
 uting applications.\n\nAbout Data Reply\n\nData Reply is the Reply Group c
 ompany offering a broad range of analytics and data processing services. W
 e operate across different industries and business functions\, working dir
 ectly with executive level professionals\, enabling them to achieve meanin
 gful outcomes through effective use of data. We support companies in desig
 ning and implementing human-centered data products to turn embryonic ideas
  into enterprise solutions. We aim at handling trade-offs among business r
 equirements and technical constraints\, developing holistic Big Data archi
 tectures and ensuring cybersecurity and data protection. We have strong co
 mpetences in Big Data Engineering\, Data Science and IPA \; we build Big D
 ata platforms and implement ML and AI models in a manner that is repeatabl
 e\, efficient\, scalable\, simple and yet secure. We support companies in 
 combinatorial optimization processes with Quantum Computing techniques tha
 t enable an engine with high computational performances.\n\nAttendance: Pl
