Teaching Quantum Technology workshop

Join us for two days at the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) for the Teaching Quantum Technology workshop (TQT) December 5-6. You will have the opportunity to attend lectures and engage in hands-on activities focused on the integration of quantum technology into the current teaching curriculum. We will discuss quantum information science and technology to give you a deeper understanding of quantum mechanics.

Quantum Computing: Transforming the Digital Age

Public lecture by Dr. Krysta Svore, Microsoft Research

Krysta SvoreIn 1981, Richard Feynman proposed a device called a “quantum computer” to take advantage of the laws of quantum physics to achieve computational speed-ups over classical methods. Quantum computing promises to revolutionize how we compute.

Cybersecurity in a quantum world - will we be ready?

Public lecture by Michele Mosca

Emerging quantum technologies will change the way that our online information is stored and secured. To be cyber-safe we must be quantum-safe. It’s possible, but we need to start planning now if we want to be ready in time.
