Description:

Quantum computing is a new mode of computing that enables fundamentally new algorithmic techniques by using quantum mechanical properties like superposition and entanglement to perform certain computations significantly faster than classical computing. In this talk, we will we explore the potential applications of quantum computing in healthcare and pharmaceuticals, including drug discovery, personalized medicine, and medical imaging. Additionally, we will provide an overview of the evolution of the quantum ecosystem, highlighting the extensive growth of investments, research, and emerging companies worldwide. Finally, we will address some of the challenges and limitations of quantum computing, including the need for robust hardware and software development. An Arsenal of Experiences:
