Workshop on ‘Quantum Computing: From Foundations to Applications

-
CENTER FOR EMERGING BUSINESS TECHNOLOGIES (CEBT), CHRIST (Deemed to be University) Lavasa conducted a workshop to raise awareness regarding Quantum computing's potential on 28-May -2021. This one-day workshop was vital to bridge the gap between conceptual and real-world applications. This workshop served as a platform to bring together theorists and practitioners in this area.

 The introductory session was conducted by Mr. Pawel Gora, President, Quantum AI Foundation, on ‘Quantum Computing.’ This was followed by a discussion on the business applications of Quantum Computing by Mr. Alex Khan, Principal Advisor - Quantum Computing, Aligned IT LLC. Finally, a hands-on session was given by Mr. Shadab Hussain on Qiskit Platform - a live Quantum Computer. The faculty coordinator for this workshop was Prof Anshul Saxena and Dr Jayant Mahajan.

About the Workshop Focus Area:
Quantum computing is the processing of information that’s represented by special quantum states. By tapping into quantum phenomena like ‘superposition’ and ‘entanglement,’ these machines handle information in a fundamentally different way to ‘classical’ computers like smartphones, laptops, or even today’s most powerful supercomputers.

Why is quantum computing important?
Researchers have long predicted that quantum computers could tackle certain types of problems — especially those involving a daunting number of variables and potential outcomes, like simulations or optimization questions — much faster than any classical computer.
But now we’re starting to see hints of this potential becoming reality. In 2019, Google ran a calculation on a quantum computer in just a few minutes that would take a classical computer 10,000 years to complete. A little over a year later, a team based in China took this a step further, claiming that it had performed a calculation in 200 seconds that would take an ordinary computer 2.5B years — 100 trillion times faster.
Though these demonstrations don’t have practical use cases, they point to how quantum computers could dramatically change how we approach real-world problems like financial portfolio management, drug discovery, logistics, and much more. Propelled by the prospect of disrupting countless industries and quick-fire announcements of new advances, quantum computing is attracting more and more attention from players including big tech, startups, governments, and the media.

We realized how pharmaceutical companies had a big role in this too. From the production of life-saving medicines to covid vaccines, they did it all. But what we do not realize is that marketing had a big role to play in a...
