Promise and Peril of Quantum Computing

California Software Professional Association (cspa.com)

If a large-scale quantum computer can be built, it will be able to solve a wide range of important industrial problems exponentially faster than even today's best supercomputers.
 
So far, no one has built a commercially viable quantum computer, but as you’ll learn by attending, several companies (and nations) are working hard to deliver a commercially viable machine. 
 
As evidence of their legitimate progress, consider this recent (10/21/18) New York Times article - <A STYLE="color: #954f72;" HREF="https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/21/technology/quantum-computing-jobs-immigration-visas.html" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">The Next Tech Talent Shortage: Quantum Computing Researchers</A>  - which points out fewer than one thousand people in the world are engaged in research in the field. 
 
And that scarcity will likely worsen as governments across the globe commit cash competing for ‘quantum supremacy’. Just last month,the the National Science Foundation announced $250 million in grants to support research in quantum technologies. Likewise, China is spending $10 billion to build the world’s biggest quantum research facility. Not surprisingly, similarly significant initiatives were announced in UK, France, Canada, Israel and India among others. 
 
If you’re an ambitious and results-driven entrepreneur, keeping up to speed on the latest developments in Quantum Computingis the best move you can make to assure your continued success. 
 
Attending The Promise and Peril of Quantum Computing is an especially time-effective way to become acquainted with both the technology and major players in this vibrant sector.
 
In particular, you’ll hear from a super position of highly accredited experts entangle both theory and practice, as they discuss key issues like:
 
- What approaches both corporations and countries are taking, along with their timetables for deployment
- Which applicant sectors are receiving attention 
- Who’s attracting venture capital and from whom they’re receiving funding
- What resources are available for you to become more engaged

In summary, attending this highly informative session on Quantum Computing is an excellent opportunity to jump into the loop on this technology sure to make a historical impact in both commerce and culture. Lacking the insights the panel will address, you’ll be at a disadvantage to those who are informed of the timetable of this genuinely transformative technology. 
 
NOTE: Seating in building is limited by Fire Marshal regulations and given the exciting topic and no charge, it's likely the space will fill up quickly. So it’s highly recommended you RSVP now, assuring you a seat
