DESCRIPTION:Jack Hidary of Alphabet's X (formerly Google X) will take us t
 hrough the nascent\, but promising field of quantum computing and his new 
 book\, Quantum Computing: An Applied Approach\n<https://www.amazon.com/Qua
 ntum-Computing-Approach-Jack-Hidary/dp/3030239217>.\nIn the talk\, Jack wi
 ll address the foundations of quantum technologies (computing/sensing/comm
 unications)\, update on current computing approaches in the NISQ regime an
 d outline future prospects for the field.\n\n*Bio | *Jack D. Hidary is a r
 esearch scientist focusing on AI and on\nquantum computing at Alphabet's X
 \, formerly Google X. He and his group\ndevelop and research algorithms fo
 r NISQ-regime quantum processors as well\nas create new software libraries
  for quantum computing. In the AI field\,\nJack and his group focus on fun
 damental research such as the generalization of deep networks as well as a
 pplied AI technologies.\n
