CS875 Module 10 Discussion #1

The topic of discussion for this week deals with the creation of a video presentation that summarizes our sociotechnical plan. 

My sociotechnical plan addresses integrating or diffusing quantum computing into the workplace. 

 

My presentation opens with the basics of quantum computing. It shows what quantum computing measures to clock its computing cycles. The video then demonstrates some of the principles of quantum computing that makes it so fast. The idea of entanglement and quantum computing “processing gates” are explored. 

 

The next section of the presentation addresses technical challenges to quantum computing, Following that is visual demonstration of the “speed” at which quantum computing operates at compared to classical computing in regards to decryption cracking of a file. The next part of the video shows organizational and societal forces related to quantum computing, as well as technical forces. The next section is a visual representation of the use of the Delphi method for sociotechnical acceptance. 

 

The video presentation concludes with areas of future research. These include research into hardware and scalability of quantum computing and algorithms and hybrid systems.
