Thursday, February 23, 2017 7:00 pm - 7:00 pm EST (GMT -05:00)

Short film festival + public lecture by Martin Laforest

Join us for a night of film and science. The Institute for Quantum Computing has partnered with the Centre for Quantum Technologies in Singapore to host a festival for quantum-inspired films. The screening of the top 10 short films will be followed by a lecture by Senior Manager, Scientific Outreach, Martin Laforest about the applications of quantum devices. He will delve into what we know quantum devices will be used for (that will affect everyone) and where researchers are hoping they will be used in the future.
