Quantum Computing and Setting up CI/CD for your Azure Functions in Azure DevOps

This time we have two talks:

• Quantum Computing with Jon-Thomas Eliassen
• Setting up CI/CD for your Azure Functions in Azure DevOps with (our very own) Sirar Salih

Quantum Computing - Jon-Thomas Eliassen

Quantum computing will enable us to solve problems that take longer than the lifetime of the universe in seconds, hours, or days" says Dr. Krysta Svore, Research Manager at Microsoft’s Quantum Architectures and Computation group.

Wow! But what is a quantum computer, and which problems can we solve using them? How do they work, and will they be commercially available within the lifetime of the universe? I can safely answer Yes! to the last question. I'll attempt to answer the other questions in my presentation. If we have time, we'll also look into Q#, Microsofts programming language for expressing quantum algorithms.

Jon-Thomas is a developer and architect with experience from product development and consulting in Norway and Australia. He has worked for almost 20 years with designing and developing high performance, mission critical web applications. He constantly strives to improve the processes and the tools used, improve the quality of the software and software delivery, and ensure business value. Jon-Thomas's interest for Quantum computing started at Microsoft Build in 2018, and he has since been studying and giving talks about the subject.
