DESCRIPTION:You may have heard of quantum computing and how it will revolut
 ionize computing as we know it by being able to do computations in a paral
 lel fashion and not be constrained by the binary states of 0 and 1. Quantu
 m computing was first mentioned more than 15 years ago as theoretical rese
 arch and something that was done in a physics lab. Now\, there are quantum
  computing companies and the quantum computing industry is poised to surge
  very rapidly\, as Google claimed quantum supremacy that was able to use t
 heir quantum computer to beat a classical computer with a classical proble
 m. But what is the current status of quantum computing and is it ready for
  use?\n\nWe have invited Chuck Eastom who is a Distinguished Lecturer in t
 he IEEE Computer Society who will shed light on the current status of quan
 tum computing. This talk begins with a brief overview of quantum computing
 \, including essential concepts and historical milestones. Then current re
 search is discussed. This includes work in quantum key distribution\, quan
 tum proof cryptography\, and quantum information. The current status of de
 velopments in quantum computing are covered. This means this talk is updat
 ed every time it is given.\n\nCo-sponsored by: IEEE Computer Society Chica
