Immensely powerful quantum computers were conceived decades ago. They are inching closer to commercial reality, but we aren’t there yet. What are the barriers to robust, large-scale processors made of weird and wonderful qubits? When we overcome these challenges, how will our communications, finance, energy, medicine, and other sectors change? As a species, are we ready for the Quantum Age?
In the first Science at Melbourne public lecture for 2024, our panel of experts represent a range of perspectives on Quantum and will discuss the applications of quantum computing, and its impact on society and our planet.
The Science at Melbourne Lecture series is the premier public event series from the Faculty of Science. The event program seeks to share our knowledge and love of science with the wider community, engaging them in current research and empowering them to ask questions and take actions for a better world. The series runs throughout the year covering scientific research, discoveries and theories that play exciting or unexpected roles in shaping and advancing our society.
This event will be run as a hybrid offering with guests able to attend in-person or register for online tickets.
