The event featured Mr. L. Venkata Subramaniam, IBM Quantum India Lead. It was hosted by the IEEE Hyderabad section Students’ activities committee in collaboration with the young professional’s affinity group of IEEE Hyderabad Section. The session aimed to introduce participants to the Introduce fundamentals of quantum computing, its differences from classical computing, and its potential to solve complex problems.

Classical vs. Quantum Computers: Classical Computers: Use binary units (0s and 1s), process tasks sequentially, and struggle with complex problems like prime factorization.  Quantum Computers: Use qubits that can exist in multiple states simultaneously (superposition), allowing faster problem-solving.

Key Quantum Concepts: Superposition: Qubits can be in multiple states at once. Entanglement: Linked qubits affect each other even at a distance. Interference: Enhances correct computational paths and cancels incorrect ones.

Quantum Computing and Moore’s Law: Quantum computers can efficiently solve problems like prime factorization, which classical computers cannot, posing challenges to current encryption systems.

India's Quantum Mission: The National Quantum Mission (NQM) aims to advance quantum research with a budget of ₹6000 crores, fostering startups and institutes.
