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\nCo-sponsored by: IEEE Montreal Section\n\nSpeake
