Basingstoke IVC Science Cafe invite you to this free Royal Institution talk titled "Einstein's revolution: quantum technology for the 21st Century quantum computer" ADVANCE BOOKING IS REQUIRED FOR THIS TALK. Please register for the event via this link: https://www.rigb.org/whats-on/einsteins-revolution-quantum-technology-21st-century-quantum-computer SUMMARY Einstein’s most revolutionary idea, the light quantum, led to the concept for a radical new type of computer. This computer would use the strange rules of quantum mechanics to process information encoded in quantum bits, otherwise known as qubits. In this talk you will find out more about how these large-scale devices may be able to solve important problems that cannot be solved by classical machines. And about some of the formidable scientific and technical obstacles that would need to be overcome, through the use of unprecedented precision to manipulate and interrogate single atoms. SPEAKER David has served terms as Head of School and President of the Australian Institute of Physics. His research expertise in the field of ion beam physics applied to test some of the key functions of a revolutionary quantum computer constructed in silicon in the ARC Centre for Quantum Computation and Communication Technology. In 2020 David received a Royal Society Wolfson Visiting Fellowship to work on new ideas for engineering silicon with single atoms. He is also a Fellow of both the Australian Institute of Physics and the Institute of Physics (UK). This is a livestream event.
