Tues., 9/9, 6–8 p.m.,The Last Round Bar & Grille, 908 Purchase St., New Bedford. Open to everyone. Free, save for the beer!
Our guest David Kagan, Ph.D., Associate Teaching Professor in Physics at UMass Dartmouth, will discuss “Quantum Computing; A Revolution That’s Sure to Teach Schrodinger’s Cat New Tricks & Change the Shape of Industries.”
A century ago, the new field of quantum mechanics was born—the study of physical properties of the microscopic world. Today, scientists & engineers are racing to develop quantum computers, devices that have the potential to dramatically increase computer speeds. Note how Google’s quantum computer Willow completed a computation in minutes that would take a supercomputer ten septillion years!
David will discuss the principles underlying quantum computing, the challenges of building these machines, the vision of quantum AI, and how technologies might be revolutionized—medicine, climate modeling, banking, to name a few. He will also provide a roadmap for distinguishing fact from hype in this rapidly evolving field. David earned his PH.D. in theoretical physics from Cambridge University.
Free parking in rear of building.
