PUBLIC TALK: Prof. F. Petruccione, Big Data, the 4TH Industrial Revolution, and 2ND Quantum Revolution
August 1, 2018 @ 4:30 pm - 5:30 pm UTC+0
Synopsis
We are living in exciting times, in which the traditional “offline” world is constantly “online” and where
this new “online” world is influencing more and more the “offline” one. The fourth Industrial Revolution
is centred around the convergence of cyber-physical systems, the Internet of Things and the Internet
of Systems. At the same time, we are experiencing the 2nd Quantum Revolution, which exploits the
“spooky” properties of Quantum Mechanics, to give us access to formidable new technologies, such
as quantum metrology, quantum communication and quantum computing. The talk explains how the
emerging quantum technologies are crucial to the success of the Big Data centred new world.
