As we enter the quantum era: Perimeter lecture

Trailer for the Michele Mosca’s Perimeter Lecture on quantum computing

The last time the Perimeter Institute and quantum technology appeared on this blog was when Justin Trudeau visited, and gave a much-discussed potted explanation of quantum computing. This evening Michele Mosca will give a lecture on how we have moved from understanding quantum physics to using it in the development of new technologies and in doing new science. He will also speculate on what this might lead to next.

The live webcast will appear below, and will be replaced by a recording shortly after the event.

Jon Butterworth’s book Smashing Physics is available as “Most Wanted Particle in Canada & the US and was shortlisted for the Royal Society Winton Prize for Science Books.
