DESCRIPTION:PLEASE NOTE THE CHANGE OF ROOM - FW26\, NOT FW11\n\nAbstract\n
 \nQuantum computing is an emerging new technology which promises to comple
 tely change computing as we know it. In particular\, the advent of quantum
  computers poses a serious threat to cybersecurity. Encryption methods hai
 led as ‘unbreakable’ by classical computers can be cracked by quantum 
 computers in a matter of hours. In this talk\, we will discuss the basics 
 of quantum computing and how it could be used to attack common encryption 
 algorithms. We also introduce and evaluate the top candidates to replace o
 ur current encryption methods for a post-quantum era.\n\nSpeakers\n\nLeadi
 ng this presentation is Data Reply’s Quantum Computing Consultant Anuj D
 oshi\, an Oxford alumnus who has been working on quantum computing applica
 tions for over a year\, specializing in quantum circuit architectures in m
 achine learning. Joining him is recent Cambridge graduate Vasundhara Prasa
 d\, who has previously worked on financial uses of gate-based quantum comp
 uting and is now working on other quantum computing applications.\n\nAbout
  Data Reply\n\nData Reply is the Reply Group company offering a broad rang
 e of analytics and data processing services. We operate across different i
 ndustries and business functions\, working directly with executive level p
 rofessionals\, enabling them to achieve meaningful outcomes through effect
 ive use of data. We support companies in designing and implementing human-
 centered data products to turn embryonic ideas into enterprise solutions. 
 We aim at handling trade-offs among business requirements and technical co
 nstraints\, developing holistic Big Data architectures and ensuring cybers
 ecurity and data protection. We have strong competences in Big Data Engine
 ering\, Data Science and IPA \; we build Big Data platforms and implement 
 ML and AI models in a manner that is repeatable\, efficient\, scalable\, s
 imple and yet secure. We support companies in combinatorial optimization p
 rocesses with Quantum Computing techniques that enable an engine with high
  computational performances.\n\nAttendance: Please sign-up at the followin
