Quantum Technology: The Second Quantum Revolution

Speaker:  Andriyan Bayu Suksmono – Bandung, Indonesia
Topic(s):  Computational Theory, Algorithms and Mathematics , Applied Computing

Abstract

This presentation explores the Second Quantum Revolution and its impact on computing, communication, and sensing. After reviewing the evolution of information technology and the limitations of classical Turing Machines in solving Hard Problems such as integer factorization and quantum simulation, it highlights how quantum principles—once responsible for the First Quantum Revolution—now enable the development of quantum computers powered by superposition and entanglement and sparks the Second Quantum Revolution. Achievements like Google’s Quantum Supremacy in 2019 show that quantum computing can outperform classical supercomputers for specific tasks, effectively refuting the Extended Church–Turing Thesis and raising concerns for classical cryptography in the era of Shor’s Algorithm, thereby motivating Post-Quantum Cryptography. The presenter’s research on employing quantum computing to search for Hadamard Matrices is briefly introduced, and the talk concludes with the latest progress in the NISQ era, movement toward the Utility Scale Quantum Computing, and the roadmap toward large-scale fault-tolerant quantum computers.
