Almost everyone has heard about it: Quantum Computing. But if you ask people what it actually is, we hear about bits being 0 and 1 at the same time and therefore more powerful. We hear about magic quantum particles and collapsing wave functions. We might even hear about dead and alive cats! Mostly, we’re left with more questions than answers…

In this talk, I will give you a proper introduction into Quantum Computing. We will see various real life examples of quantum phenomena, along with a pinch of basic and accessible math, that will reveal why those phenomena have so much computational potential. We will also have a look at the current state of the technology and its development.

After this talk, you will understand what Quantum Computing is, how the basic concepts work and why it is so powerful. You will have taken the first step on a fascinating journey that will get you ready for when Quantum Computing finally arrives…
