As part of the strategy plan for after the EP elections, in a continuous effort to provide interesting value to MEPs, the Steering Committee approved the idea of organising a series of Tech masterclasses for MEP assistants, advisors and EP staff. The objective is to offer the opportunity to learn more on tech-related themes that are at the basis of digital policies, in a neutral environment.

In this masterclass, you will learn what is Quantum computing? What are its potential applications? Explore the principles of quantum mechanics that power quantum computers and how they differ from classical computing. By harnessing the power of quantum computing, these algorithms can solve problems currently intractable for classical computers, driving innovation and advancement across a wide range of sectors, including cryptography, drug discovery, and climate modeling.
