Der Vortrag findet auf Englisch statt.

The excellence cluster Munich Center for Quantum Science and Technology (MCQST) invites you to a free evening talk at the Deutsches Museum on one of the most exciting technologies of our time. Prof. Christopher Monroe draws on the strangest properties of physics — uncertainty, entanglement, superposition — to explain how quantum computers tackle problems that defeat classical computers: cracking encryption, simulating molecules, optimising vast datasets. No prior knowledge needed.

Prof. Christopher Monroe is the Gilhuly Family Presidential Distinguished Professor at Duke University and Co-Founder and Chief Scientist of IonQ, the world's first publicly listed quantum computing company. The event is organised by MCQST — a research cluster comprising LMU Munich, the Technical University of Munich, the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics, and the Walther-Meißner Institute of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences and Humanities, and the Deutsches Museum as outreach partner.

Die Veranstaltung findet in englischer Sprache statt. Eine Anmeldung ist erforderlich. Weitere Informationen finden Sie auf der Website des Munich Center for Quantum Science and Technology.
