PUBLIC TALK:
  The Promise of Quantum Computing (and how we’re going to get there!)
		
Fri, 14 Dec 2018 18:00 - Ross Lecture Theatre, UWA Physics Building 
		
A public lecture by Jeremy O’Brien, Co-founder and CEO, PsiQuantum and
2018 UWA Institute of Advanced Studies Visiting Fellow.

Quantum computing promises to transform almost every aspect of our
lives, society and economy. However, despite more than quarter of a
century of effort, useful systems are yet to be realized. The challenge
is that useful quantum computing requires ~1,000,000 qubits (to meet the
demands of error correction). This challenge will only be met in the
near term by harnessing the advanced manufacturing capabilities of the
conventional silicon computer chip industry—one that has benefited from
sustained investment of ~ $1tn over the past 50 years. In this lecture
Professor O'Brien will survey the proposed approaches for achieving this
goal and show that silicon photonics stands out in making general
purpose quantum computing achievable with conventional silicon
processes.
