In recent years, quantum computing has gone from being a distant concept to a tangible reality. All the breakthroughs and investments carried out by important companies have brought quantum supremacy closer to us than we may think.

While it is true that in 2020 quantum computing is nowhere near as advanced as classic computing, democratising the access to quantum systems has enabled us to gradually see interesting achievements by various companies and research centres.

The prospects of this field of knowledge are promising and we are about to witness the creation of a new computational paradigm.

In this webinar we will explain what quantum computing is, why it is fascinating, what are its advantages, and we will explore the current state of affairs with highlights from the field of optimisation.
