AlleKwanty: o komputerach przyszłości, które na Allegro dopiero będą mieć

Rejestracja: https://app.evenea.pl/event/allegro-tech-kwanty/

Allegro Tech to miejsce, w którym nasi inżynierowie dzielą się wiedzą oraz case study z wybranych projektów w firmie - w formie artykułów, podcastów oraz eventów. Tym razem przygotowaliśmy dla Was coś wyjątkowego!

Już 16 maja o godz. 18.00 w biurze Allegro w Warszawie odbędzie się meetup: AlleKwanty: o komputerach przyszłości, które na Allegro dopiero będą mieć z udziałem gości specjalnych. Spotkamy się z Piotrem Beńke (IBM), Piotrem Biskupskim (IBM), Tomaszem Ćwikiem (finQbit) oraz Rafałem Prachtem (finQbit), aby porozmawiać o komputerach kwantowych.

Prezentacje będą prowadzone w języku angielskim. / Presentations will be conducted in English.

Presentation descriptions:

Piotr Beńke (IBM) & Piotr Biskupski (IBM) - Quantum Computing at a glance

We will briefly introduce quantum computing, showing the difference from a classical computer. We will present how IBM is building an ecosystem around this technology and how you can try programming a quantum computer and sending a task to a physical machine today. Big industry players are already developing new quantum algorithms with IBM to build a competitive advantage. We will discuss a few use cases of quantum technologies and take a peek at the development and roadmap of quantum technology by IBM. We will also pay attention to the impact of this future-proof technology on today's activities, especially in the area of cybersecurity.

Tomasz Ćwik (finQbit) & Rafał Pracht (finQbit) - Practical View on Quantum Computing

Why and how to start Quantum adventure

Quantum Computers are still a distant imagination for most of the organizations. However there is an increasing number of challengers who don't waste time to start. Why do they do so? Have you thought about how to start your own journey with Quantum Computers? Do you wonder if it has any business usage or is still an illusion? During the presentation we will provide you with the practical insight how to start with Quantum Computing and how it may be used based on real-life examples. We will talk about how QC journey differs from other technologies, if it's easy to buy or use them and where are pitfalls to watch out for.

Example of QC in Finance industry

In the second part of the speech, we will show a detailed view of the Quantum Monte Carlo algorithm. We will start with an introduction to quantum computing, focusing on why this will be a breakthrough technology. Then we introduce the Monte Carlo method in finance and how we can harness the power of quantum computing to speed up the calculation. Next, a detailed description of the Quantum algorithm for pricing Options on gates-base quantum computers will be presented. In the last part of the speech, we focus on the impact of quantum computers on the demanding computational tasks in finance.
