Throughout history, there have been moments when the progress of technology has taken great steps forward, when a combination of the right tools, a capacity for innovation, and sparks of ingenuity lead to breakthroughs that transform how we live our lives. Financial executives in Berlin acquire a comprehensive understanding of these technology trends and how they will impact their business with Quantum Computing author and keynote speaker Edgar Perez  Edgar Perez, a world’s renowned expert in technology and innovation, is featured as Keynote Speaker at Institutional Investor’s Chief Executive Officer Roundtable in Berlin, Germany: https://www.iimemberships.com/European-Institute/Chief-Executive-Officer-Roundtable-0 . The highlight of the European Institute’s calendar, the CEO Roundtable concentrates on the critical trends shaping the asset management industry providing attendees with their annual “business check” on how their counterparts are handling the same issues.
Quantum Computing (QC) expert Edgar Perez (http://mredgarperez.com ), presenter of programs in Mumbai, Abu Dhabi, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, London, Mexico City and Hong Kong, presents his latest research on the topic. QC replaces today’s Boolean logic with quantum law at the algorithmic level. For optimization, sampling or search problems, this promises dramatic speedups. QC will enable solving a set of problems that couldn’t be solved before or could take forever on a classical super computer.
QC’s benefits include efficiently simulating much larger molecules, effectively minimizing the overhead to run complex logistical operations and dramatically reducing the time for advanced portfolio construction optimization, among many others applications.
Furthermore, in the same way that combustion engines and microprocessors once redefined entire industries, QC heralds today the advent of as yet unimagined realms, while also opening new radical avenues for existing industries, such as finance, pharma, oil and gas, and even the acceleration of artificial intelligence.
