Our Quantum World: How Quantum Technologies will Shape the Future - One Day Meeting

Sat 18 March

Department of Engineering

A one-day interdisciplinary scientific meeting organised by Professor Adrian Kent, Dr Boris Groisman, Dr Sergii Strelchuk and Professor Ron Horgan covering quantum technologies an their different aspects and varied applications.

Entry is free and open to all who are interested

Quantum physics describes a new type of information with distinctive properties
that can revolutionize how we process and control data. Emerging technologies
like quantum cryptography, computing, and communication harness this potential.
This one-day meeting brings experts from around the world to share their insights
and visions into a quantum-powered future.
