Russell Huffman - Intro to Quantum Computing

For almost 40 years, quantum computing has intrigued and amazed scientists and non-scientists in its future possibility for solving problems that are intractable using classical computing. Over the last three years, IBM has made real quantum computers available on the cloud so that clients, students, and researchers can begin to learn and experiment with this new way of computing.

 

We'll see what use cases are being considered in industry, the state of quantum computing today, and how you can get on the right path to make the earliest use of this rapidly evolving technology.

Bio:
Russell has been with IBM since 2016, working on Watson (IBMs AI platform) before joining IBM Quantum as a UX Designer. He worked on the IBM Quantum Experience, IBMs cloud based quantum software that enables anyone to use a quantum computer for free through a browser. He currently focuses on the IBM Quantum brand and content, with the goal of making quantum computing approachable and understandable for everyone.

Russell is also an artist, musician, and Georgia Tech alum.
