ICYMI: Quantum Computing and the Future of Cybersecurity

This week, the Buzz presents another session from one of our recent in-person events. The 2022 Emerging Technology and Innovation Conference took place from May  22-24, and explored how new technologies are introducing new opportunities and impacting government services and the citizen experience.

Quantum computing is a nascent technology that proposes to harness the quantum properties of subatomic particles to solve computational problems.  Sounds complicated, right? Well this panel of experts from industry, government and academia will help break down what quantum computing is, what it isn't, and the implications for this technology on the field of cybersecurity and cryptography.

Panelists:

Tim Gilday (moderator) - Emerging Technology Senior Director, General Dynamics IT
Dr. Celia Merzbacher - Executive Director, Quantum Economic Development Consortium
Bill Newhouse - Cybersecurity Engineer, National Institute of Standards and Technology
Mark Sherman - Director, Software Engineering Institute, Carnegie Mellon University
