Quantum Computing WORKSHOP (#4 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 fourth 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, 29, June 1, 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 FOUR: Simple Quantum Algorithms
• Simple Quantum Algorithms - Inching into the QC software algorithm development space is vital for students to get the experience needed to progress properly - this requires careful analysis of the various algorithms, why they provide a quantum speedup relative to their classical cousins against a backdrop of a careful explanation of the problem and it's solution.

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.
