1/23/2025 - Quantum Computing (An Emerging Technology: What To Know)

Our first TechTalk of 2025 played host to a panel of experts in the emerging technology of quantum computing (and adjacent technologies), introduced by Matt Wendel of Emerging Prairie and moderated by Anthony Molzahn of Devii. We were joined by Dr. Adel Elmessiry (STEM/Alphafin), Corey Mock (NDIT CIO), Ayush Asthana (UND), Josh Gelinske (NDSU Research & Technology Park), and Jase Kraft (Pavewise). A fascinating discussion was had, where you can learn:

- What quantum computing is and how it differs from classical computing and traditional systems

-Why quantum computing is a critical next step in research fields, digital communication, and data security

-What role quantum computing may play in North Dakota's socioeconomic future

...and much more!
