Dear Members & Friends,

We are delighted to invite you to our next RCDI Digital meeting on Monday, 5 October 2026, 6pm, featuring Marco Fiorentino, researcher at Hewlett Packard Enterprise in Silicon Valley, who will introduce us to one of the most fascinating technological fields of our time: quantum computing.

RCDI Digital: Quantum Computing - From Qubits to Real-World Impact
Monday, 5 October 2026 | Zoom
with Marco Fiorentino, Hewlett Packard Enterprise

Quantum computing is often described as a technology with the potential to fundamentally change the way we process information. But what exactly is a quantum computer? How does it differ from the computers we use today - and why does that matter?

Marco will give us a “keep it simple” introduction to the basic principles of quantum computing, including concepts such as qubits and quantum gates, without requiring a technical background.

From there, we will look at some of the most promising areas of application, ranging from medicine and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity, and explore the bigger questions ahead: How close are we to practical quantum computing? Where could it create real value? And what opportunities and challenges might it bring for business and society?

The presentation will be followed by a Q&A session, giving us the opportunity to discuss this emerging technology directly with our guest speaker.

We look forward to an insightful evening and a lively discussion with you.
