Much Ado about Quantum Computers
Join Dr Sam Hile to examine the excitement surrounding quantum computers and the awesome things they eventually should be able to do. In this beginner-friendly talk, he will discuss how far we are along the path toward a true paradigm shift in computing.
"There's lot of attention on this newly emerging field, and much mainstream media coverage tends toward over-hyping, confusing explanations, or straight-up misrepresenting what's actually going on.”
Sam is a senior researcher within the Sussex Centre for Quantum Technologies, at the forefront of developing the hardware building-blocks for quantum enabled processors, where information is encoded onto the flexible but fragile properties of individual atoms.
"Quantum physics may be complicated and counterintuitive, but the basics of quantum computing don't have to be, and that's great news for the future end users of this transformative technology"
