Quantum computing – what should we do about it?

2025 marks the International Year of Quantum, and quantum computing seems to be everywhere. But with so many headlines about “breakthroughs” and talk of “quantum supremacy,” how much of it reflects real progress, and how much is still hype?
In this timely and thought-provoking free session, Rajiv Shah will offer a frank assessment of the current state of quantum computing. He will explore the barriers still to be overcome, the kinds of applications we can expect as the field matures, and what a future with large-scale general purpose quantum computers might enable.
Importantly for business analysts, this session will examine how quantum computing could impact the way we specify and manage non-functional requirements. From performance and scalability to security and risk, Rajiv will help attendees consider how today’s decisions may be shaped by tomorrow’s technologies.
