Main Talk: Quantum Computing /​ Anatoly Vorobey

We’re used to living in a world where things happen in order. But in reality of quantum physics, things work a little differently. This lets us do all sorts of cool things which starting with the basics of computing theory—you’ll learn about in this talk.

Backup Talk: TBA

Rump Session: Each participant will give a 4-minute talk (+3 minute encore if we applaud hard enough). Giving a talk isn’t mandatory, but it’s highly recommended. Not confident that what you have to say is relevant to our interests? Unsure about your public speaking skills? Doesn’t matter—in the rump session, anything goes. - Note, you don’t have to prepare a talk to come! Speaking at the rump session is completely only if you want to.
