Only a few years ago, quantum computing was a somewhat obscure field of physics. Today, it is an area that is attracting huge investment from both governments and industry and there is a rapidly growing commercial sector.

This 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.

In 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.

About the speaker

The 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.
