Dr Nixon Patel, Founder and CEO of Qulabz, USA, will visit Nirma campus on April 09, 2024. Dr Nixon Patel will deliver a session on Quantum Computing and Communication.
Venue : N501
Time : 2:00 PM Onwards
The abstract of the session is as follows:
Quantum computing represents a completely new paradigm that relies on the physics of quantum particles to ensure unique advantage, speed and security over the classical computing realm. It is posed to revolutionize entire industries and bring astounding new innovations. This overview talk will attempt to place the ongoing efforts in India in context with similar developments happening worldwide. We will briefly describe the underlying technological needs, the collaborative efforts between academia, industry and research laboratories, and the challenges that we face in the physical and network layers. Quantum computing also enables new paradigms in quantum communications, and we will discuss opportunities for research, entrepreneurship and industry participation in the ongoing efforts. It will provide the students a broad overview of the area of quantum computation, starting with basic concepts such as superposition, entanglement and basic quantum algorithms that demonstrate the power of computing with quantum bits. Given that an increasing number of companies including well-funded startups and several major players (Intel, Google, IBM, Microsoft, IonQ, Rigetti, Amazon) are investing heavily in this space, there are going to be a lot of job/internship opportunities for students interested in exploring this area. This talk should inspire students to further explore and learn to use the principles of quantum computing, classify the problems that can be expected to be solved well by quantum computers and also discover how they can get involved with this in future!
