invites University of Toronto alumni and friends to attend a reception, featuring a special presentation:
The Quantum Advantage: How Quantum Computing Could Reshape Business, Innovation and the Global Economy
by
Professor Francesco Bova
Rotman School of Management, University of Toronto
followed by a Q&A with President Woodin
Quantum computing could transform how we solve some of the world’s most complex problems—but what exactly is it? Where can quantum create the most value and how close are we to realizing its potential?
Join President Melanie A. Woodin and Rotman quantum expert Professor Francesco Bova for a conversation about quantum computing and the emerging quantum economy. Separating promise from hype, they’ll explore where quantum could have the greatest economic impact—and what business leaders should be doing about it today.
