Using Many Quantum Worlds to Solve the Unsolvable
14:10/14:50
Quantum computers use all of the possible pathways generated by quantum decisions to solve problems that will forever be intractable to classical computers. As the mega players vie for quantum supremacy and Rigetti announces its $1M "quantum advantage" prize, we live in exciting times. You can learn to program quantum computers right now using IBM-Q and Microsoft Q#. I'll demonstrate some quantum solutions to real problems including organic chemistry and large number factorisation. Join me to understand how the many worlds of quantum theory can be used to solve real world problems.
