“Join the Department of Physics for a public talk entitled Quantum Learning Quantum: Quantum Computers and AI.

Professor Gerard Milburn, Quantum Fellow at the UK’s NQCC, willl share his vision of how quantum computers and AI could transform science.

Galileo’s great insight was that we can learn about the world by building devices that reveal simple, reproducible phenomena. We push on the world, and the world pushes back. More than a century ago, scientists discovered that some experiments produced a startling result: the world is quantum.

Quantum theory is famously strange, yet we now understand it well enough to put it to work. Quantum technologies aim to harness and control the quantum world in ways that can make us wealthier, healthier and safer. In this talk, Professor Milburn will describe the quantum technologies that are already beginning to change our lives, including quantum computing. Looking ahead, he will explore how the combination of quantum computing and embedded artificial intelligence could create “self-driving laboratories” that accelerate scientific discovery and open the door to technologies beyond our current imagination.”
