HPC + AI Wall Street picks up ‘creepy’ science for financial services
Albert Einstein famously described quantum mechanics as “an eerie action at a distance” due to the non-intuitive nature of superposition and entangled particles. Just as you don’t need an electrical engineering degree, you do need to understand the finer points of advanced physics to take advantage of these technologies as they apply to real-world applications in financial services and other fields. It’s good that you don’t. Using a classic computer.
At the HPC + Wall Street Conference (September 20-21, New York City) opening panel, quantum computing has the potential to bring significant competitive advantages to many financial services applications such as portfolio optimization, risk management, and more. Dive into the hottest topics in programming. Administration, secure communication, and much more.
Four expert panelists will provide guidance aimed at helping companies start developing quantum-ready strategies. The panel will be moderated by John Russell, one of HPCwire’s editors and senior editor of the new quantum-focused microsite and newsletter QCwire.
Each panelist briefly discusses an area of focus, Russell explains. Broadly speaking, they 1) invest in QC – the flow of money is often a key indicator of segment dynamics – 2) the QC vendor community and use cases; Deploying Quantum Computing – At this stage No one is using quantum computing in a production environment, but there are many public and private projects underway.
Now owned and produced by Tabor Communications, this year’s HPC + AI on Wall Street will take place directly at the InterContinental Hotel Times Square on September 20th and 21st. His four themes are focused on Quantum Computing, HPC, Data Management and AI.
“It’s a convergence paradigm, nothing rigorous,” said Tom Tabor, industry observer and CEO of Tabor Communications. “This program focuses on the convergence and future of HPC, AI and data.
