    Introduction to Quantum Computing

    In this talk, we will introduce quantum computing. Quantum computers are fundamentally different than conventional computers. They promise to solve important problems that are practically prohibitive and even impossible to implement using today’s supercomputers. The challenge is building one that is large enough to be useful. We will review the state-of-the-art today, discuss the path forward, and highlight the MIT Center for Quantum Engineering and the role it will play in helping to define the quantum future.

    Computational Design and Manufacturing

    Over the next few decades, we are going to transition to a new economy where highly complex, customizable products are manufactured on demand by flexible robotic systems. This change is already underway in a number of fields. For example, additive manufacturing is revolutionizing production of parts in consumer, aerospace, automotive, and medical industries. Overall, these new machines enable batch-one manufacturing of products that have unprecedented complexity.

    In this talk, I will present a new computational design and manufacturing workflow that draws inspiration from computer architectures, programing languages, and program synthesis. I will describe how designs can be synthesized from their functional specifications to the corresponding low-level instructions that are executed on intelligent manufacturing hardware.

    Some Simple Economics of the Blockchain

    Blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies are poised to influence the rate and direction of innovation. By allowing firms to perform costless verification, blockchain lowers the cost of auditing transaction information and allows new marketplaces to emerge. Adding a distributed ledger to the mix allows marketplaces to be bootstrapped without the need for traditional intermediaries. How will this technology challenge existing revenue models? What impact will it have on the regulation, auction, and provision of public goods, software, identity, and reputation systems? With research grounded in economic theory, Catalini will discuss how blockchain is poised to upset the global market.

    Creating the Next Generation Enterprise

    How will your company compete in the digital economy? Based on her book What’s Your Digital Business Model? (Harvard Business School Press, 2018), co-authored with Peter Weill and cited by Forbes as one of the top ten business books in 2018, Stephanie L. Woerner presents six questions for business leaders to answer in order to navigate their digital transformation journeys. Stephanie will describe the future business model framework, based on two dimensions of major change enabled by digitization — getting closer to end consumers and moving from value chains to ecosystems—and show the financial performance of firms pursuing each model with examples drawn from a variety of industries. She will discuss what it takes to succeed in each model and the key capabilities each company must build.

    Cyber Security of IoT

    How can you protect yourself against threats you don’t know about? What measures can you take to assess your risk before a breach? How can you protect yourself against an attack that originates in an innocuous object like a toaster? Professor John Williams will discuss how organizations can prepare themselves to defend against cybersecurity threats to protect their enterprises. He will discussrisk a modeling and data analytics tool (Saffron), that helps to identify risk tolerance and strategies for assessing, responding to, and monitoring cyber security risks.

    Leading Digital Transformation: How You Can Make Your Company into a Digital Master

    Amidst the hype over digital transformation, there is an important truth: Some companies manage it better than others. In seven years of research with more than 400 organizations, the key capabilities of Digital Masters were identified. These large traditional companies, which exist in every industry, are better able to translate technology into transformation again and again. In this session, we will examine how Digital Masters are different from their peers, share numerous examples, and discuss how you can turn your company into a digital master.
