HAWAII CHAPTER Chapter • May 27, 2026

Chapter Hosts Tech Talk Sponsored by MANTECH

MANTECH and IBM recently co-hosted a Quantum Computing workshop entitled The Quantum Advantage: Understanding the Strategic Impact on Indo-Pacific Readiness.

During the session, IBM provided a high-level overview of quantum computing, quantum safe and quantum cryptography, along with several practical use cases. MANTECH shared insights into how organizations can build the internal capacity necessary to support quantum computing initiatives.

A key takeaway from the workshop is that while classical computing remains the solution for most current problems, quantum computing is designed to solve challenges that fall outside classical capabilities. If a problem can be solved classically and affordably, that remains the best approach. However, for organizations facing significant computational challenges, now is the time to explore if those issues are candidates for quantum solutions.
