In this week’s episode, Aarav Makadia discusses the importance of quantum computing and the emergence of bioinformatics and big data. With the global emergence of data, the power efficiency of quantum computing makes it more promising than modern computing. Bioinformatics works to bring the intersection of biology and computer science in order to develop software tools in order to generate useful biological information. Big Data works to analyze extremely large datasets to reveal patterns, trends, and associations to human behavior. How will quantum computing change the way we interact with computers? Where will bioinformatics be used? How are globally-renowned organizations transitioning to big data? Listen to episode 8 of TheOpenShow to learn more!
