What makes Quantum Computers so SPECIAL?? Session 1 (of 2)

Content level: 000 -- Event is for the "Quantum Curious"

Speaker: Eamonn Darcy, Founder of QUECWA at The Quantum Education Centre of WA, Australia.

Abstract: The course is aimed at students who have heard about quantum computing and want to know more about it before investing time and money into the sector. The course introduces concepts and ideas that a student will need to embrace in order to further their studies in the sector. The course contents have been adapted from the original 2019, 6-week online course of the same name. In this first session, the course provides the student with a real understanding of the mysteries of quantum physics such as Entanglement, Superposition and tunnelling. The student is taken through the two pivotal experiments in this area: The Double Slit and The Delayed Choice Quantum Eraser. The session concludes with an overview of how Linear Algebra allows us to exploit the mysterious powers of superposition and entanglement.
