Quantum Computing Concepts

Explore the fundamentals of quantum computing in this comprehensive 1-hour conference talk. Learn about superposition, entanglement, and the potential applications of quantum computing in fields such as quantum chemistry, materials science, cryptography, and machine learning. Gain insights into separating hype from reality without requiring prior knowledge of condensed matter physics or advanced mathematics. Discover the challenges faced in making quantum computing a reality and get hands-on experience writing quantum computing code. Delve into topics including molecules, vectors, complex numbers, superposed states, electrons, and the concept of infinite values. Understand what a quantum computer is, explore quantum computers in the cloud, and learn about Q#, an open-source language for quantum computation. Join John Azariah, a member of Microsoft's Quantum Computing team and Q# language design committee, as he demystifies quantum weirdness and answers questions about this cutting-edge technology.
