Quantum Computing Essentials

Quantum Computing
Essentials

Quantum technology has had a strong media presence even before Europe’s first quantum computer went into operation in Ehningen on June 15, 2021. Being one of the most important technological fields of the future, a huge amount of money is currently being invested in this field. It is therefore worthwhile to look at what added value this technology can create in the future. From an IT perspective, but also from a business analytics perspective.

  • Aws Advanced Training Partner

  • Aws Premium Consuting Partner

Objective

In a four-hour course, we will focus on the practical part of quantum technology. We will teach just as much theory as necessary to quickly compute practical examples of quantum algorithms on our own. To do this, we will take advantage of the AWS Cloud to book the necessary hardware on a short-term and temporary basis. In the process, you will learn what is already possible with the technology today, what potential it has and how it can be used productively.

All you need for the course is a laptop with free internet access. Please study the links below in advance if you would like to familiarize yourself more intensively with the mathematical-physical theory of quantum computation.

Quantum-safe encryption

Are you already using quantum-safe encryption? How long do you estimate it would take to convert all your current TLS-based encryption and which consequences this would have? Did you know that the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) has been publicly soliciting standardization for quantum-safe Pulic key exchange methods since 2016?

AWS is also participating in this and you can already try out so-called post-quantum encryption methods today. It is expected that the search for a stable standard will be completed in 2024. Start preparing for the future today.
