Quantum computing is advancing rapidly—but is it actually useful outside research labs yet? This talk will take a practical look at where things stand today, separating real progress from hype. We will touch on what quantum computers can currently do well (and where they still fall short), particularly in areas like optimization, chemistry, and materials. A key focus will be the challenge of translating academic research into real-world applications—what’s working, what isn’t, and why.
Professor Chakrabarti will also briefly compare how India and the U.S. are approaching quantum…
