Quantum technology has already changed and possibly saved your life through existing technology such as cell phones and advanced sensors. This technology might also make today’s big tech companies obsolete by creating a quantum computing revolution. In response, Amazon, Google, Microsoft, IBM, Intel, and a collection of start-ups have spent billions of dollars with claims that quantum computers will advance AI, break the internet, end world hunger, and solve climate change. The US Government also recognizes this potential and started the National Quantum Initiative to ensure the US leads in realizing societal benefits from quantum technology. You will leave this talk knowing something of quantum science and how much of these industry claims are real versus hype. You will also learn how to make a career out of contributing to the national cause, which promises to provide jobs for the next 20 years or more in a variety of fields.
