Brave New World #1 The Quantum Era | Yair Assulin & Roee Ozeri
Yair Assulin will be speaking about quantum computing with Prof. Roee Ozeri, a physicist in the Department of Physics of Complex Systems at the Weizmann Institute of Science who researches cold atoms used to develop a universal quantum computer and for precision measurements (among other things). He also serves as Vice President for Resource Development and Communications. We will explore what quantum computing truly means, how close we are to its realization, and the significance of a non-binary world that lets us solve previously inaccessible problems, as well as highlight the opportunities, challenges, and questions it creates and the broader implications of this technological revolution.
Sponsored by the Braginsky Center for the Interface between Science and Humanities, with participation from the audience.
