Speech Title: The Power of Quantum Computation and Communication
Abstract:
By employing the fundamental principles of quantum mechanics to carry out calculations at supreme speeds compared to conventional computing, quantum computation makes use of quantum bits, or qubits, which can exist in multiple states at the same time. Furthermore, when compared to conventional computers, quantum computers are capable of leveraging superposition, entanglement, and quantum interference to address complex problems that exceed the reach of classical systems.
Considering these aspects, the current paper explores the foundational concepts regarding quantum computation, along with its applications in fields like cryptography and optimization. The paper also addresses the current challenges in developing scalable quantum hardware. Focusing on both theoretical and practical aspects, this study puts emphasis on the transformative potential of quantum computation in terms of its impacts on future technology as well as science.
Biography:
Prof. Mahmoud Abdel-Aty is the Vice-President of African Mathematical Union, former Vice-President of African Academy of Sciences and former Dean of Research and Graduate Studies at Applied Science University, Kingdom of Bahrain. He completed his doctorate in quantum optics at Max-Planck-Institute for Quantum Optics, Munch, Germany in 1999. After his analytical study of quantum phenomena in Flensburg University, Germany, 2001-2003, as a post doctorate visitor, he joined the Quantum Information Group in Egypt. He received the D. Sc. (Doctor of Science), in 2007. He is especially well known for seminal contributions to theories of quantum measurement, nanomechanical modeling, highly non-classical light, practical information security, and optical implementations of quantum information tasks. His current research interests include quantum resources, optical and atomic implementations of quantum information tasks and protocols. He is the Editor-in-Chief of Applied Mathematics & Information Sciences (an International Journal, USA), a founding editor for several international journals. He has published more than 244 papers in international refereed journals,13 book chapters and 4 books. Abdel-Aty’s research has been widely recognized and he has received several local and international awards, such as the Incentive State Award for Advanced Technology Sciences, the State Award of Excellence for Basic Science and State Encouragement Award for Mathematics. He was also the recipient of the Abdul Hameed Shoman Foundation Award for Arab Researchers in Mathematics and Computer Sciences and Mohamed bin Rashed Prize for the best initiative in language policy and planning offered by Mohamed bin Rashed Foundation. He was also the recipient of The Third World Academy of Sciences, Fayza Al-Khorafy award and Shawky Salem prize for Knowledge Management. In 2014 he has been elected as a vice-president of the African Academy of Science.
