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.
A registration is required. For more information, please visit the Munich Center for Quantum Science and Technology website.
