WESTGATE – WestGate Crane Technology Park is presenting a free webinar on Wednesday, May 5 from 11 a.m. until noon EST
The webinar presented by Dr. Robert Blizeh, of BAH, provides a realistic look at the future and current state of quantum engineering and concludes, for those interested, that a career in Quantum Engineering is not to be dreamed as if it were a far-off future state but is already here for the taking.
The presentation begins with a useful definition of quantum physics followed by a nerdy but entertaining illustration that captures the historical implications where we are in our global race to exploit the principles of the quantum revolution. It then uses the Elitzur-Vaidman experiment to show how quantum engineering uniquely advances humanity while imposing its own set of limitations. From this understanding, the idea of quantum supremacy as a framework for any meaningful discussion of quantum engineered advancement is established.
The presentation then provides examples to illustrate the real meaning of quantum supremacy by citing the current state of three development areas highlighted by the media.

The presentation then provides insights into the even brighter and more immediate breakthroughs in quantized effects devices that are currently underway.
Rolling these observations together, the presentation concludes that a career in quantum engineering is not a future dream, as presented in the media, but is here now for any to pursue.
