Quantum computing in the 21st Century – with David Jamieson

From the creator

Join David Jamieson as he explores his work in quantum technology and looks at how we plan to build the first quantum machines. Watch the Q&A for this video here: https://youtu.be/gnf9eH4WjQM Subscribe for regular science videos: http://bit.ly/RiSubscRibe Einstein's most revolutionary idea, the light quantum, led to the concept for a radical new type of computer. This computer would use the strange rules of quantum mechanics to process information encoded in quantum bits, otherwise known as qubits. In this talk you will find out more about how these large-scale devices may be able to solve important problems that cannot be solved by classical machines. And about some of the formidable scientific and technical obstacles that would need to be overcome, through the use of unprecendented precision to manipulate and interrogate single atoms.
