Explore the quantum science behind the computer revolution of the 20th century and the coming quantum 2.0.
This one-hour, interactive demonstration lecture will showcase how fundamentals of quantum physics led to the first quantum revolution – the digital age based on electronics and the communication age based on photonics/optical fibre communications.
Hear about the second quantum revolution, quantum computing and cryptography, highlighting what (and is not) promised in this new quantum age. The lecture will be primarily demonstrations and interactives, with some big bangs, laser light, superconductors and levitation!
Children under the age of 14 must be accompanied by an adult.
