Quantum: Game-changer or niche? (Online)
Quantum physics describes the behaviour of small particles such as atoms or photons. Recently technology has advanced to the point where this weird behaviour can be harnessed to do a wide range of things such as build powerful quantum computers, ultra-sensitive sensors, incredibly precise clocks and unhackable communications. This talk will provide an up-to-date view of quantum, with an honest appraisal of the outlook for this fascinating area with an emphasis on communications.
