Quantum Computing WORKSHOP (#2 of 5) [Quantumapalooza 2020 Series]

Content level: 200 Intermediate
This event is a part of Quantumapalooza 2020 series; See http://2020.quantumapalooza.com/

This workshop is the second of a five-part series designed for those who are learning the basics of quantum computing, but have experience in classical programming. Participants attending this session are encouraged to also register for the May 27, June 1, 3, and 5 sessions.

This hands-on workshop is meant as a primer for the Software Engineer to learn Quantum Computing by a method of exposure - it seeks to avoid opaque mathematics and dense quantum physics common in most QC education, and get right into software engineering and concept digestion. These modules are meant to be a progression, one building off of the previous module.

Instructor: Matthew R. Versaggi, (Senior Director of Artificial Intelligence and Cognitive Technologies, Optum Technology)

SESSION TWO: Quantum Gates and Quantum Circuits
• Quantum Gates and Quantum Circuits - Quantum Gates manipulate Qubits, and when combined form Quantum Circuits. The discussion is starts w/the digital gate model and transforms into digital logic (the basis for all classical computing) as a bases to build on. The discussion then turns toward Quantum gates, and quantum logic as a basis for quantum algorithm development.

Instructor: Matthew R. Versaggi, Senior Director of Artificial Intelligence and Cognitive Technologies + Distinguished Engineer : UHG/Optum Technology - Senior leadership role in the Artificial Intelligence and Cognitive Technology Space - Combination role of (a) thought leader, (b) evangelist, (c) education SME, (d) strategist, and (e) delivery of projects and technical capabilities.
