DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nQuantum computing is an emerging new technology wh
 ich promises to completely change computing as we know it. In particular\,
  the advent of quantum computers poses a serious threat to cybersecurity. 
 Encryption methods hailed as ‘unbreakable’ by classical computers can 
 be cracked by quantum computers in a matter of hours. In this talk\, we wi
 ll discuss the basics of quantum computing and how it could be used to att
 ack common encryption algorithms. We also introduce and evaluate the top c
 andidates to replace our current encryption methods for a post-quantum era
 .  \n \nSpeakers\n\nLeading this presentation is Data Reply’s Quantum Co
 mputing Consultant Anuj Doshi\, an Oxford alumnus who has been working on 
 quantum computing applications for over a year\, specializing in quantum c
 ircuit architectures in machine learning. Joining him is recent Cambridge 
 graduate Vasundhara Prasad\, who has previously worked on financial uses o
 f gate-based quantum computing and is now working on other quantum computi
 ng applications. \n\nAbout Data Reply\n\nData Reply is the Reply Group com
 pany offering a broad range of analytics and data processing services. We 
 operate across different industries and business functions\, working direc
 tly with executive level professionals\, enabling them to achieve meaningf
 ul outcomes through effective use of data. We support companies in designi
 ng and implementing human-centered data products to turn embryonic ideas i
 nto enterprise solutions. We aim at handling trade-offs among business req
 uirements and technical constraints\, developing holistic Big Data archite
 ctures and ensuring cybersecurity and data protection. We have strong comp
 etences in Big Data Engineering\, Data Science and IPA\; we build Big Data
  platforms and implement ML and AI models in a manner that is repeatable\,
  efficient\, scalable\, simple and yet secure. We support companies in com
 binatorial optimization processes with Quantum Computing techniques that e
 nable an engine with high computational performances.\n\nAttendance: Pleas
