AITP Chicago Meeting on Quantum Mechanics & Quantum Computing

AITP Chicago's Future Tech SIG invites you to an informative presentation and discussion on Quantum

A great opportunity to network with your peers!

Event Host: The Vitality Group

Refreshments:  Pizza and soft drinks will be served.

Topic: Quantum Mechanics and the evolution of Quantum Computers

Quantum Mechanics have revolutionized the world we live in from the discoveries made in the early 1900's and it has taken a life of it's own as Quantum Computers have become a reality and we are getting close to cracking the 2048 key algorithm as suggested by Peter Shor in 1994. Join the session to get a quick background on Quantum Mechanics and the evolution of Quantum Computers and some of the future plans for IBM, Google and Microsoft in this fascinating field of studies.

Cost:  Members $15,   Non-Members $20,  Speaker and Guests, no charge

IBM Quantum Background:

IBM leverages quantum computing to enhance IT systems by optimizing infrastructure, strengthening security, and driving innovation.

Key applications include:

Infrastructure Optimization: Quantum algorithms improve network traffic management, server load balancing, and data center efficiency.

Cybersecurity: IBM develops quantum-safe cryptography and uses quantum-enhanced AI to detect system vulnerabilities and anomalies.

Cloud Integration: The IBM Quantum platform offers Quantum-as-a-Service (QaaS), enabling users to access quantum computing resources via the cloud, supported by tools like Qiskit.

System Simulation: Quantum computing enables efficient modeling and testing of IT configurations before deployment.

With advancements like the 127-qubit Eagle and planned 1,000+ qubit Condor systems, IBM is redefining IT management for the quantum era.
