DESCRIPTION: Join us for the February 2025 Dundee Data Meetup \n\n Join us 
 for our February Dundee Data Meetup featuring an exciting exploration into
  the world of quantum computing with our expert speaker.\n  \n\n Topic: He
 llo\, Quantum World \n\n   \n\n Speaker: Jules May\, Software Consultant \
 n\n Jules is a freelance consultant specialising in safety-critical system
 s\, mathematical software\, and compilers and languages. With 25 years of 
 experience in writing\, teaching\, and speaking\, Jules regularly conducts
  lectures and workshops. He is the author of "Extreme Reliability: Program
 ming like your life depends on it" and the originator of Problem Space Ana
 lysis. \n\n Have you ever wondered what a real quantum computer looks like
  in action? \n\n Join us as Jules demystifies quantum computing and demons
 trates a working quantum system. While quantum computers are often portray
 ed as future technology that will revolutionise cryptography and computing
 \, Jules will show that they're already here and being used to solve real 
 problems.\n  \n\n Talk Description: \n\n How would you like to see an actu
 al\, quantum computer\, actually working? \n\n Everyone's heard about quan
 tum computers - how they'll be able to solve every computational problem i
 n the blink of an eye\, decrypting every coded message\, and spilling our 
 secrets across the internet. That’s if they ever get delivered: for all 
 the talk\, nobody seems able to construct a working quantum computer. So i
 s the whole idea nothing more than fairy dust? \n\n Actually\, quantum com
 puters do exist\, and we can use them to run real algorithms. Within a few
  years\, quantum computers are going to be a useful part of the programmer
 ’s armoury\, routinely solving problems in optimisation\, recognition\, 
 machine learning\, and simulation that no other technology can handle.\nTh
 is session explains what a quantum computer is\, why it is so different fr
 om a conventional computer\, and how we design quantum algorithms. Finally
 \, it will show a simple\, “Hello\, Quantum World” program running on 
 real quantum hardware. \n
