QUANTUM COMPUTING: BASICS AND APPLICATIONS
This talk delves into the transformative potential of quantum computing, a revolutionary technology that leverages the principles of quantum mechanics to perform calculations at unprecedented speeds. We will examine foundational concepts such as superposition and entanglement, which enable quantum bits (qubits) to represent multiple states simultaneously, vastly increasing computational power. Key algorithms, including Shor's Algorithm for efficient integer factorization and Grover's Algorithm for enhanced search capabilities, will be discussed, highlighting their implications for cryptography and data retrieval. Furthermore, we will explore the diverse applications of quantum computing across various sectors, including finance for risk analysis, healthcare for drug discovery, and logistics for optimizing supply chains. By addressing both the challenges and opportunities presented by quantum technology, this presentation aims to provide a comprehensive overview of its potential to reshape
our technological landscape.

QUANTUM COMPUTING: BASICS AND APPLICATIONS
Biography:
Ahmed Younes is Professor of Quantum Computer Science, Alexandria University, and Alamein International University. He is the founder and leader of Alexandria Quantum Computing Group (AleQCG), the coordinator of QEgypt (QWorld cousin), the representative of Egypt in World Quantum Day (WQD) and the representative of the Arab States in the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology (IYQ2025) Steering Committee endorsed by UNESCO. He is the former Vice Dean of Education and Student Affairs, Faculty of Science, Alexandria University. The former Manager of the International Scientific Publishing Center, Alexandria University, and also the former Academic Supervisor of the Faculty of Computers and Data Science, Alexandria University. Former Honorary Research Fellow at School of Computer Science, University of Birmingham, United Kingdom. He obtained his PhD from University of Birmingham, United Kingdom in 2004 in quantum circuits and quantum algorithms. He introduced techniques in amplitude amplifications and quantum search algorithms, known as `Partial Diffusion Operator' and made contributions in representing Quantum Boolean circuits as Reed- Muller logic. He published many papers in Quantum Algorithms, Quantum cryptography and Reversible Circuits.
