ACS Professional (Webinar): Quantum Computing - Opening New Possibilities
Join our virtual ACS Professional event where our speaker Dr Anna Phan will talk on how specific quantum computing applications will have significant disruptive implications for industries and businesses.
About this event
The technology matures every day, and it’s now at an early commercialisation tipping point. It is the right time for technology leaders to understand and prepare for the potential of quantum computing. The conditions are in place to experiment and expand this exponential technology.
Join us at this upcoming webinar, where our speaker, Dr Anna Phan, will talk on how specific quantum computing applications – even early ones – will have significant disruptive implications for industries and businesses.
Due to the recent changes in Victoria, this event will now be taking place online only, and will not be hosted at the ACS Melbourne Innovation Hub.
