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.

From Einstein to Wheeler: wave particle duality for a photon

Alain AspectJoin us for the next Quantum Frontiers Distinguished Lecture Series when Dr. Alain Aspect will talk about the weirdness of wave particle duality.

From NIST Tech Beat: September 15, 2014

Researchers at the Institute for Quantum Computing at the University of Waterloo in Canada have directly entangled three photons in the most technologically useful state for the first time, thanks in part to superfast, super-efficient single-photon detectors developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
