Quantum computers are coming, that much everybody can agree on. But nobody seems to really know what they are going to do and when we might expect them.

We want to create a community of people interested and passionate about this emerging technology.

What is Quantum Computing?

Quantum computers are fundamentally different from classic computers, which operate using binary bits. This means the bits are either 0 or 1. However, in Quantum Computing, the bit is referred to as a quantum bit or 'qubit'. Qubits can represent 0 or 1 or, unlike the strictly binary bits of classic computing, a combination of both partly 0 and partly 1 at the same time.

This phenomenon, called superposition, gives quantum computers their amazing speed and parallelism. Quantum computers can calculate on all possible inputs at the same time meaning that these computers could theoretically work on millions of computations at once, where a classical computer would have to perform these calculations sequentially.

Why should you care?

Quantum Computing is currently rising on the Gartner Hype Cycle and could become one of the most impactful disruptions of the modern era. Most people’s eyes glaze over when you try to explain the concept. And, yet, those in the know also fear the power of that same concept. How can something so misunderstood be poised to affect so many different things across the spectrum of science and computing?

It is already known that Quantum Computing is going to completely disrupt fields like pharmacy, chemistry, finance and cryptography. Even though classical supercomputers are still superior to their quantum counterparts today, companies are already building the groundwork for when the first practical quantum computer becomes available.

This means that the coming quantum revolution could arrive much more suddenly than previous digital revolutions like cloud and mobile computing. Therefore, being “Quantum Ready” will be the deciding competitive advantage for the coming decade.

For CIOs, it’s critical to understand the reality of the Quantum Computing disruption and how it might become a practical platform for computing, machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) in the digital age.

Use cases

What are potential
use cases of QNTM?

Machine learning

Improved machine learning through faster structured prediction. Examples include Boltzmann machines, quantum Boltzmann machines, semi-supervised learning, unsupervised learning and deep learning.

Chemistry

Quantum computers will allow us to simulate complex interactions between large molecules. This would have far-reaching implications for materials science, the energy sector and the chemistry industry.

Finance

Quantum Computing could enable faster, more complex Monte Carlo simulations, for example, trading, trajectory optimization, market instability, price optimization and hedging strategies.

Healthcare

DNA gene sequencing, such as radiotherapy treatment optimization/brain tumor detection, could be performed in seconds instead of hours or weeks.

Computer science

Faster multidimensional search functions, for example, query optimization, mathematics and simulations.

Logistics

Eventually, the use of Quantum Computers in the mobility segment could reduce costs and improve numerous processes such as route planning, scheduling, mission planning, traffic flow optimisation...

Introduction to Quantum Computing by The Campus - February 2020
06/02/2020 - 12:00

Quantum Computers will probably become one of the most important technologies of the next decade, yet very few people seem to understand what they will do, or why normal computers suddenly need replacement. In this course, we will introduce you to the weird and wonderful world of Quantum and teach you everything you need to know about where and when quantum computers might be used in your business.

07/05/2020 - 09:00

Feel like you’ve got a decent grasp on the fundamentals of quantum computing and eager to start working with real life quantum computers? Too bad you’ll probably have to wait another decade or two before this becomes, possible right? Nope! In this course, you will be introduced to the basics of quantum programming, including running a program on an actual supercomputer!
