Abstract
One of the key ideas behind the anticipated power of quantum computers is quantum parallelism. It's the idea that if we feed a quantum superposition as an input to a function, we get a superposition state of different output. In this talk, I will discuss quantum parallelism in simple quantum algorithms and its nuances, after introducing the necessary physics.

Tamer is a physicist with a background in both industry and academia. He studied X-ray observations of galaxies for his doctoral thesis at MIT, before joining Hewlett Packard in a consulting role in enterprise software. He then returned to physics, taking an assistant professor position at the Zewail City for Science and Technology, in Egypt. He has turned his focus now to quantum computing where he aims to take his career.
