Our 2022 July Lectures in Physics are exploring Quantum Worlds: from the cosmos to future computing

Glyn Davis Theatre (Formerly Basement Theatre, B117)

The second July Lecture for 2022 will be presented by <a href="https://findanexpert.unimelb.edu.au/profile/3038-lloyd-hollenberg" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Professor Lloyd Hollenberg, University of Melbourne</a>.Quantum computers are beginning to emerge from decades of development in physics research labs around the world – prototypes are here, and you can access them via the cloud. But what are they, and what are they good for? To answer these questions we will take a brief tour through the world of quantum computers – covering their origins, current status and outlook. The talk will be augmented by quantum programming examples, both in a simulation environment and on physical quantum computer systems.For those who wish to arrive early, there will be complimentary wine and nibbles provided to guests from 5:30 pm. Every Friday in July since 1968 the July Lectures in Physics have been informing and entertaining the public - each year, eminent University of Melbourne and visiting physicists present historical and up-to-the-minute perspectives on a current topic in physics. The 2022 program is:<ul><li><a href="https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/quantum-foundations-of-the-universe-solved-and-unsolved-problems-tickets-362724618097" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">7 July - Quantum foundations of the Universe: Solved and unsolved problems - Professor Nicole Bell</a></li><li>15 July - Quantum computers: approaching fast - Professor Lloyd Hollenberg</li><li><a href="https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/quantum-chemistry-quantum-effects-in-our-everyday-lives-tickets-362734537767" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">22 July - Quantum Chemistry: quantum effects in our everyday lives - Professor Katya Pas</a></li><li><a href="https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/thermonuclear-quantum-mechanics-the-elusive-promise-of-fusion-tickets-362737707247" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">29 July - Thermonuclear quantum mechanics: the elusive promise of fusion - Professor David Jamieson</a></li></ul>
