Rainer Blatt: The Quantum Way of Doing Computations

Quantum computers use the laws of quantum mechanics to solve computational problems that are insurmountable for conventional computers. By controlling individual atoms as computing units, they open up new possibilities in areas such as materials research, drug development and optimization. But how do these “quantum machines” work? What problems can they actually solve and what challenges still lie ahead? In his public lecture (in English), quantum computer pioneer Rainer Blatt will explain the basics of quantum computing, present current progress and give an outlook on the future of this groundbreaking technology.
Rainer Blatt is the former head of the Department for Experimental Physics at the University of Innsbruck and the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information (IQOQI) of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (ÖAW).
