Quantum Computing Lecture.

On December 2nd Raymond Laflamme (the director of the Institute for Quantum Computing at the University of Waterloo) will present how quantum physics laws can be used to provide a fundamental different way of computation, quantum computing.

His lecture "Harnessing the Quantum World" is part of Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics Public Lectures Series.
