Catalog description

Curious about the strange and fascinating world of quantum computing? Join us for an immersive seminar that will unravel the mysteries of quantum mechanics and its implications for technology. We will explore key principles that set quantum physics apart from classical physics, helping you understand phenomena such as superposition and entanglement - and what is qubit? Through engaging discussions and hands-on activities, we'll delve into new advances in quantum computing, including quantum algorithms and their potential to solve complex problems beyond the reach of classical computers. Heard of topological quantum computing? We will discuss why this is relevant for quantum computing. The campus hosts many quantum experiments, providing a tangible connection to the concepts we discuss. This seminar will invite students to see labs holding equipment that cools to temperatures colder than the outer universe. By the end of the seminar, you'll gain a deeper understanding of the buzzword quantum computing and fundamental principles relating to those future technologies.
