Quantum Computing: How to build a REALLY cool computer

Strathclyde PhySoc

Join us for another academic talk in our Academia @STRATH series w/ Prof. Viv Kendon.

University of Strathclyde Faculty of Engineering - RC512

Computers are everywhere: in phones, cars, toasters, on the moon,
in orbit, leaving the solar system, running the internet, keeping
track of your money, deliveries, the NHS. Every year we are urged to
upgrade to the latest, fastest model. But what exactly is a computer,
and how can we build a really fast one? Quantum physicists are busy
designing and testing the next generation of superfast, supercool
computers, made from single atoms and exquisitely controlled light. I
will explain what computers are (and are not), how to build a quantum
computer, and a few of the things we could do with it, once we have
built a big enough one.
