Experience a fundamental introduction to quantum physics and the ongoing quantum revolution, which develops technologies based on some of the most fascinating paradoxes within the quantum world. You will gain insight into how quantum computers work and what possibilities they open up.
The microworld of atoms and molecules is governed by entirely unique rules: particles can apparently exist in multiple places simultaneously, and measurements always yield unpredictable results. Quantum physics revolutionized our understanding of the world in the early 20th century and has since proven its precision across physics and chemistry.
In this lecture, physicist Klaus Mølmer walks through quantum physics fundamentals, existing quantum technologies, and the perspectives that lie in future breakthroughs. You will hear about the development of quantum computers since the 1990s – how far we have come, and what fully functional quantum computers can achieve by harnessing atomic quantum states to simultaneously process many calculations.
