In a public lecture, quantum information scientist Michele Mosca will look at the quantum breakthroughs that promise to define the next generation of technological innovation. The talk, titled 鈥淎s We Enter the New Quantum Era,鈥� is part of the . The lecture will be webcast live on the Perimeter Institute website and via partner organizations on Wednesday October 5 at 7 PM ET.
鈥淭hrough ongoing advances in quantum information research, we are entering a new era of science and technology,鈥� says Mosca. 鈥淭he challenges are profound, while the possibilities seem limitless.鈥�
A co-founder of the Institute for Quantum Computing at the University of Waterloo, and a founding member of Perimeter Institute, Mosca is an award-winning researcher specializing in quantum computation and cryptography. He is globally recognized for his efforts to help academia, industry, and government prepare their digital security for the quantum era, during which powerful quantum computers will pose a threat to current cryptography. Mosca also co-founded evolutionQ Inc. to help organizations evolve their quantum-vulnerable systems and practices to quantum-safe ones.
Following his talk, Mosca will answer questions from the online and in-house audience 鈥� including questions submitted prior to and during the talk via and (using the hashtag #piLIVE). Questions are welcomed from everyone 鈥� aspiring scientific explorers, school classes, physics and chemistry buffs, and general science enthusiasts.
