Quantum Computers for the Future (and for Cocktail Parties)

Quantum computers exploit the bizarre features of quantum physics – uncertainty, fuzzy states of reality, quantum entanglement -- to perform tasks that are impossible using conventional means. These include the computing and optimizing over ungodly amounts of data; breaking encryption standards; simulating models of chemistry and materials; and communicating via quantum teleportation. However, quantum computers are notoriously hard to build and scale. Despite this, many important problems known and unknown will never be solved until we have them, so society is well-motivated. I will discuss the state-of-the-art in this remarkable field, led by scientists and engineers from academia, industry and government.

The event is free and open to everyone interested and fascinated about quantum computers. However, please note that registration is required.
