Materials Challenges for Quantum Technology Engineering & Innovation webinar series
The 20th century saw the first quantum revolution which created game changing technologies such as transistors and lasers The second quantum revolution, set to define the 21 st century, is well underway.This revolution aims to design, control and engineer individual quantum systems, ranging from molecules to single electrons, with greater precision than ever before. Importantly, quantum information science is no longer limited to interest from university laboratories, but has turned the heads of industry giants and investors alike Think Google and Microsoft, IBM and Alibaba.
What exotic technological applications can we expect from this second quantum revolution? Join us as we embark on a series of webinars to explore the implications of quantum technology engineering and the critical material challenges to overcome Proudly brought to you by A*STAR Institute of Materials Research and Engineering.
