Abstract: Quantum Computing: Real-World Applications
In 2025 we celebrate the centenary of the discovery of a new way to control the real world: quantum mechanics. Quantum enables a hardware platform for new algorithms that run more efficiently than they would on conventional silicon computers. New algorithms are being developed for quantum computers that advance our wealth, health and security. I will explain how quantum computers enable these new algorithms in the context of photonic quantum computing.
