DESCRIPTION:Quantum computing is rapidly moving from a largely theoretical 
 field toward practical experimentation and new approaches to solving diffi
 cult computational problems. But what exactly is a quantum computer? How d
 oes it differ from the computers we use today\, what makes a quantum algor
 ithm different from a classical algorithm\, and where might quantum comput
 ing actually provide an advantage?\n\nJoin us for the talk offered by Kris
 hna Ganesh\, COO and Board Director of SuperQ Quantum\, for an accessible 
 introduction to quantum computing and the rapidly developing world of hybr
 id supercomputing. The talk will explore how quantum computers work\, how 
 the field has evolved in recent years\, and how quantum and classical comp
 uting can be combined to tackle challenging problems in areas such as opti
 mization\, supply chains\, materials science\, and data modeling. The sess
 ion will also examine the growing intersection between artificial intellig
 ence and quantum computing\, including how AI can make sophisticated compu
 ting tools more accessible to researchers\, students\, and organizations. 
 The talk will include examples using ChatQLM.\n\nNo previous background in
  quantum computing is required. Whether you are interested in computer sci
 ence\, mathematics\, optimization\, AI\, engineering\, business\, or simpl
 y curious about what quantum computing may mean for the future of computin
 g\, this talk will provide a practical introduction to the field and its c
 urrent capabilities.\n\nThe event is co-organized by Computer Chapter and 
 the School of Computing Sciences and Mathematics\, and is sponsored by Sup
