Abstract: Quantum computing is poised to revolutionize many aspects of technology. Machine learning, optimization, communication and chemistry will all become exponentially more sophisticated when using quantum physics for computation. In this presentation I will provide the background of quantum computing, what it is and what it is not, expected timeline, principal applications, and major players in the ecosystem. I will conclude with ways that you can begin to take advantage of quantum computing.
