Abstract
Our Quantum Future
Dr. Jamie Vicary, Senior Research Fellow, University of Oxford
We are only starting to learn how quantum computers might work, and how they should be built. In the Computer Science department in Oxford, we investigate the foundations of quantum computation, motivated by questions such as: Why is quantum computing possible in the first place? What if quantum mechanics worked differently? How could we program a quantum computer? The University of Dalhousie is also a leader in this area.
