The world of computing is evolving at a groundbreaking rate with quantum computing offering exponential accuracy and processing speed for solving a variety of financial use cases when compared to traditional compute strategies. On the flip side, although quantum computing has the potential to drive transformational changes across digital society, these advances in computational power will also introduce significant risks such as the disruption to widely used encryption standards. This presentation will discuss some recent results obtained by JPMorganChase in the field of quantum computing and quantum cryptography. For quantum computing, we will go over scaling advantage, random circuit sampling, some recent quantum optimization work, and the opportunity to integrate quantum computing and quantum communications for privacy in distributed machine learning. In the area of quantum cryptography and networking, we will discuss the need for building security solutions that encompass both post quantum cryptography and quantum key distribution.

This event starts at 3:30pm with refreshments, followed at 3:45pm by a short presentation titled "Facilitating Variational Quantum Algorithm Design with Reconstructed Landscapes", by Tianyi Hao (Tannu group). The invited presentation starts at 4pm.
