Over the last few years the development of quantum computing has accelerated dramatically, evolving from testing its theoretical underpinnings with a few noisy qubits to a fleet of processors with enough capacity to start applying them to actual problems.
This presentation will include a brief introduction to the basics of quantum computing, how it differs from classical computing and why it shows such great promise, its progress beyond theory to actual utility, and how recent innovations may enable the era of quantum advantage with fully fault tolerant, error correcting quantum processors by the end of the decade.
Note: the presentation is designed for a general audience and will not require any deep understanding of quantum mechanics or mathematics!
