Quantum computers aren't simply faster, smaller versions of the conventional computers we have today. Nor are they another incremental step in the evolution of Moore's Law. Rather, quantum computers represent a new, fundamentally different computing paradigm. One that carries tremendous advantage for certain types of problems of importance. Quantum computing could really transform industries where there are significant optimization problems. Quantum computers have the potential to exceed the performance of conventional computers for problems of importance to humankind and businesses alike, in areas such as Cybersecurity, Materials science, Chemistry, Pharmaceuticals, Machine learning, Optimization. I will talk about this promising new technology, exploring questions such as "What is a quantum computer?", "How are quantum computers different than conventional computers?", "What types of problems are hard for classical computers, yet can be efficiently solved on a quantum computer?", "When can we expect a quantum computer, and what might it look like?". All this is not decades away or 100 years away. That quantum age has now come.
