Today, it is an area that is attracting huge investment from both governments and industry and there is a rapidly growing commercial sector.\n\nThis has transformed the area, and focus is now increasingly on the various engineering challenges we still need to solve to build a practical quantum computer.\n\nIn this presentation we will discuss some potential applications of quantum computers, different ways of building the hardware; and finally, some of the main challenges that are still left to be solved.\n\nAbout the speakerThe speaker will be Artem Shesterikov. He is a final-year joint PhD student with RHUL who is working on superconducting quantum computing for The National Physical Laboratory.\n\nTo join the event via Microsoft Teams please CLICK HERE\n\n \n\n DTSTART:20240925T180000Z DTEND:20240925T193000Z LOCATION:Online, joining details on Anglia Section web page (Microsoft Teams Link) END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
