Complete Cloud Sustainability: What You Need to Know

There's a large amount of theory about quantum computing, and you'd be forgiven for thinking that's all there is. 

Companies across the world are making very real progress into quantum. Although affordable access to real quantum computers is out of reach for most organisations, many are planning their quantum approaches on 'classical' computers, establishing methods and using emulators so that they're ready for when this new form of computing arrives. 

If you're looking for the answers to questions like the following, then this webinar is for you:

- What is quantum computing?
- Will it replace 'traditional' computing (spoilers: it won't) and where will and won't it be relevant? 
- Which industries will benefit from quantum, and what's the role of cloud? 
- Why is European innovation so important to quantum, and what’s happening that we should know about? 

We'll also have a live example of how Kuano, a biotech company, illustrating their plans to use quantum to improve drug discovery.

How are organisations getting ready for the quantum computing world today?
