DESCRIPTION:This talk begins with a brief overview of quantum computing\, i
 ncluding essential concepts and historical milestones. Then current resear
 ch is discussed. This includes work in quantum key distribution\, quantum 
 proof cryptography\, and quantum information. The current status of develo
 pments in quantum computing are covered. This means this talk is updated e
 very time it is given.\n\nSome feedback from some of the attendees:\n&quot;I wo
 uld like to take a moment to express my sincere appreciation for this info
 rmative event. Thank you very much for hosting this excellent session.&quot; --
  Amir Yahyaeian&quot;\n\n&quot;I thought the presentation was very good and enjoyed 
 it.&quot; -- Ralph Prichard\, PE\n\n&quot;Thanks. That was an excellent presentation
 ! Looking forward to more awesome sessions on hardware\, quantum\, AI\, et
 c.&quot; -- Rajat Joy\n\n&quot;It’s a fascinating topic and it was clear to me tha
 t Dr. Easttom is an authority on the subject. As a networking professional
  my primary concern is tracking the adoption of newer encryption methodolo
 gies and encouraging customers to adopt larger key sizes with an eye towar
 d new algorithm use.&quot; -- James Garringer\n\nCo-sponsored by: George Pappas
