Microsoft Reactor

Live from Cloud City Seattle, this.Just.in. This new Microsoft Reactor series is for developers, entrepreneurs and passionate technologists that want to build tech that’s game-changing, useful or just plain interesting

The promise of <a href=https://azure.microsoft.com/solutions/quantum-computing/#quantum-impact/?wt.mc_id=1reg_14599_webpage_reactor>Quantum Computing is filled with unprecedented potential. And for many years, Microsoft has been involved in every layer of the stack – software, apps, devices, controls – to make it a reality. But unless you’re a physicist or an engineer that lives quantum on the daily, it can be difficult to distinguish reality from aspiration, practical application from prototype. Want to find out what a <a href=https://azure.microsoft.com/solutions/quantum-computing/technology/#overview/?wt.mc_id=1reg_14599_webpage_reactor>topological qubit means for your <a href=https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/quantum/overview-what-is-qsharp-and-qdk/?wt.mc_id=1reg_14599_webpage_reactor>Q# Or get the latest on <a href=https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/quantum/?view=qsharp-preview&wt.mc_id=1reg_14599_webpage_reactor>Azure Quantum as your would-be compute target? What is the open source community doing to accelerate quantum research? Come join Principal Cloud Advocate Justin Garrett and Senior Quantum Architect Kitty Yeung as we share what we’ve learned, what’s new and invite you into a conversation about the future of quantum computing.

Speakers
Justin Garrett is host of this.Just.in and a Principal Cloud Advocate in Cloud + AI Engineering at Microsoft. Justin works closely with learner communities to help address the skills gap in cloud native dev and manages a team of Cloud Advocates from around the world that do likewise. You’ll find him leading workshops at Microsoft Reactors, mentoring Student Ambassadors, and helping improve our dev stack like Azure and Visual Studio. Justin’s career at Microsoft also spans 16 years across Windows, Bing, Edge and Web Platform. In his spare time, he enjoys coaching his son’s soccer team, gardening, and is an avid Pacific Northwest mountaineer. Follow him on LinkedIN and Twitter.

Kitty Yeung, PhD is a physicist and Senior Quantum Architect working at Microsoft to build scalable quantum computers. She is also passionate about bringing quantum education into the domain of everyone. She produced the MS Learn quantum modules, lectured at HackadayU and Microsoft Reactor and created comic series on quantum computing (see her amazing graphic series). She studied physics at Cambridge and Harvard but is also an accomplishedartist and fashion innovator. Follow her on Instagram and Twitter
