Discover the fascinating world of quantum physics and follow the development of a technological revolution built on the most paradoxical phenomena within microscopic reality. Atomic particles can exist in multiple places simultaneously, and measurements yield unpredictable results — a picture of nature that shook physicists in the 20th century, yet has since proven precise across all areas of physics and chemistry.
This lecture introduces you to quantum physics and the technologies it has already made possible. You will also learn about revolutionary perspectives opening up through the use of atomic quantum systems for entirely new purposes — particularly within quantum computing. Since the 1990s, massive investments have been made in developing quantum computers that exploit quantum mechanics to simultaneously calculate many possible solutions to complex problems. The lecture covers where development stands today and what practical applications we can expect once these machines become fully operational.
