In recent years scientists have realized that an array of technologies can benefit from previously untapped quantum effects.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p><p style="text-align:start;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;margin:0cm0cm0.0001pt">	<span><span style="caret-color:#000000"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="font-style:normal"><span style="font-variant-caps:normal"><span style="font-weight:normal"><span style="letter-spacing:normal"><span style="orphans:auto"><span style="text-transform:none"><span style="white-space:normal"><span style="widows:auto"><span style="word-spacing:0px"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust:auto"><span style="text-decoration:none"><span style="sans-serif">Quantum computers have been one of the most popular disruptions, which can outperform the most powerful supercomputers that we could ever build. Potential applications of this technology in industry and business abound: ultra-secure cryptography, quantum machine learning algorithms to enhance big data analysis, supply chain management, finance, more secure blockchain technologies, drug design, etc.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p><p style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-align: center;">	<img alt="Image result for quantum computers" height="267" src="http://res.publicdomainfiles.com/pdf_view/121/13963695021705.jpg" width="218"></p><p style="text-align:start;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;margin:0cm0cm0.0001pt">	<span><span style="caret-color:#000000"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="font-style:normal"><span style="font-variant-caps:normal"><span style="font-weight:normal"><span style="letter-spacing:normal"><span style="orphans:auto"><span style="text-transform:none"><span style="white-space:normal"><span style="widows:auto"><span style="word-spacing:0px"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust:auto"><span style="text-decoration:none"><span style="sans-serif">In this seminar, we will learn the very basics of how quantum computers work and gauge the potential business opportunities of the upcoming quantum revolution. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p><p style="text-align:start;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;margin:0cm0cm0.0001pt">	<font color="#000000"><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><strong>Speaker: </strong>Oscar Viyuela RCC Postdoctoral Fellow, Department of Physics at Harvard University.</span></font></p><p style="text-align:start;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;margin:0cm0cm0.0001pt">	<font color="#000000"><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><strong>Sponsors: </strong>RCC; Science@RCC; Department of Physics at Harvard University.</span></font></p>
