Description
Quantum computing is moving beyond theoretical possibilities and into real-world business applications. But where can it deliver meaningful value today, and what should organizations consider as they evaluate opportunities to put it to work?
Join the Tech Titans Quantum Forum for a discussion featuring Lucus Haugen, Director of Data Science at AT&T, and Dr. Govinda Dhungana, Senior Principal Data Scientist at AT&T, who will share insights from AT&T's experience applying quantum optimization to complex business challenges, including its work with D-Wave Quantum. In an early application, AT&T used D-Wave's technology to reduce the processing time for a network optimization workload from approximately one hour to less than 15 seconds.
Learn more about AT&T's partnership with D-Wave here.
Following the presentation, Mike Thompson, Lead Chair of the Quantum Technology Forum, will moderate a discussion with the AT&T speakers and Sean McNunn of D-Wave, exploring emerging applications, lessons learned, and considerations for organizations evaluating the business potential of quantum computing. Audience Q&A as time allows.
Who should attend: Business and technology executives, innovation leaders, and others interested in understanding the practical applications and business potential of quantum computing.
Thank you to D-Wave for their sponsorship and participation and thanks to Carstens Allen Gourley for securing this great venue at the Center for American and International Law.
