Cafe Scientifique is a place where, for the price of a cup of coffee or a glass of wine, anyone can come to have a conversation about the latest ideas in science and technology. Meetings have taken place in cafes, bars, restaurants, theatres, libraries and even out of doors, but always outside a traditional academic context.
Join Daisy Shearer, Quantum Computing Outreach and Engagement Lead at the NQCC, to explore quantum computing.
Talk outline
What does the future of computing look like? We will explore the world of quantum computing, from the physics of qubits to quantum algorithms. We will discover how quantum computers work, how they are different from regular computers, and how we can use them to solve certain problems. Quantum computers have the potential to positively impact our everyday lives, so come along if you’d like to learn more about this incredible technology.
