An introduction to quantum computing and resource estimation
Event Start:
2018-08-30T14:00:00
Event End:
2018-08-30T15:00:00
Event Information:
The field of quantum computing has grown rapidly over the last decade. Physical systems with high double-digit numbers of qubits are expected within the coming year. As the machines continue to grow in size, they will be able to run increasingly sophisticated quantum algorithms. Some of these algorithms, such as Shor's factoring algorithm, will have serious repercussions on parts of our cryptographic infrastructure. This leads to an important question: how big of a quantum computer do we need to run an algorithm? To do so fault-tolerantly? Moreover, how long will it take?
Event Location:
TRIUMF Auditorium
Speaker:
