DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nQuantum computing is an emerging new technology wh
 ich promises to completely change computing as we know it. In particular\,
  the advent of quantum computers poses a serious threat to cybersecurity. 
 Encryption methods hailed as ‘unbreakable’ by classical computers can 
 be cracked by quantum computers in a matter of hours. In this talk\, we wi
 ll discuss the basics of quantum computing and how it could be used to att
 ack common encryption algorithms. We also introduce and evaluate the top c
 andidates to replace our current encryption methods for a post-quantum era
 .\n\nSpeakers\n\nLeading this presentation is Data Reply’s Quantum Compu
 ting Consultant Anuj Doshi\, an Oxford alumnus who has been working on qua
 ntum computing applications for over a year\, specializing in quantum circ
 uit architectures in machine learning. Joining him is recent Cambridge gra
 duate Vasundhara Prasad\, who has previously worked on financial uses of g
 ate-based quantum computing and is now working on other quantum computing 
 applications.\n\nAbout Data Reply\n\nData Reply is the Reply Group company
  offering a broad range of analytics and data processing services. We oper
 ate across different industries and business functions\, working directly 
 with executive level professionals\, enabling them to achieve meaningful o
 utcomes through effective use of data. We support companies in designing a
 nd implementing human-centered data products to turn embryonic ideas into 
 enterprise solutions. We aim at handling trade-offs among business require
 ments and technical constraints\, developing holistic Big Data architectur
 es and ensuring cybersecurity and data protection. We have strong competen
 ces in Big Data Engineering\, Data Science and IPA \; we build Big Data pl
 atforms and implement ML and AI models in a manner that is repeatable\, ef
 ficient\, scalable\, simple and yet secure. We support companies in combin
 atorial optimization processes with Quantum Computing techniques that enab
 le an engine with high computational performances.\n\nAttendance: Please s
