DESCRIPTION:Quantum computing leverages the basic principles of quantum phy
 sics to store and process information in a manner fundamentally different 
 from classical computers to achieve exponential improvements in computatio
 nal power. Quantum computers will enable us to unlock challenging problems
  that today can only be solved through approximations. They will transform
  our current digital world by changing our approach to algorithms\; indust
 ry value chains\; and shake underlying technologies. In this talk\, we wil
 l discuss what quantum computing is\, the potential benefits it can bring\
 , define its key foundational concepts\, review where we are today\, and h
 ow to get started in the quantum journey. We will also cover IBM Q: IBM's 
 quantum computer and ecosystem to drive quantum computing adoption.\n\nCo-
