An Introduction to Quantum Computing
Join Ian Pepper, former Director of Technology Innovation at Novartis, as he walks-through the concept of quantum computing.
Quantum computing is set to revolutionize industries by solving complex problems that are beyond the capabilities of traditional computers. But what exactly is quantum computing, and why does it matter? In this masterclass, we’ll break it down in simple terms—no background in quantum mechanics required.
We’ll explore how quantum computers work, what makes them different, and why they are generating so much excitement. We’ll also dive into real-world applications, with a special focus on the pharmaceutical industry, where quantum computing is accelerating drug discovery, optimizing molecular simulations, and transforming research.
What you will learn:
- The fundamentals of quantum computing, explained simply
- Key differences between quantum and classical computing
- Practical applications in business and science
- How pharma companies are leveraging quantum computing for innovation
- The future potential of quantum technology across industries
