|Hello〉+|World〉: Hacking Quantum Today

Forget bits, qubits are it. Quantum computing is changing the world: from advancing machine learning, to driving breakthroughs in molecular modeling, to creating next-gen cryptography quantum will have an impact. Come discover what are quantum computers, where does the power of quantum comes from, how is programming different, and why we need a quantum developer workforce today.

Dr. César A. Rodríguez Rosario is the Chief Scientific Officer of Strangeworks, a startup that makes the power of quantum computing easily accessible to all developers. Prior to Strangeworks, he worked at Harvard University and Max Planck Institute as a Theoretical Physicists with a focus on Quantum Computing. He has a Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Texas in Austin, and a B.S. in Computer Engineering. The Puerto Rican natural affirms that the universe is made of quantum information, and his job is to hack reality. He has 20 years of experience in quantum computation and over 1000 citations. He has given talks at Oxford University, MIT, ETH Zürich, Tokyo Tech, Hong Kong University, FermiLab, NEXT, among many other places. He dreams of quantum technologies changing the world.
