SUMMARY:Exploring the World of Quantum Computing
DESCRIPTION:\nDaisy Shearer\, Quantum Computing Outreach and Education Lead
 \, National Quantum Computing Centre\nIn this talk\, Daisy Shearer from th
 e National Quantum Computing Centre (NQCC) will provide an overview of qua
 ntum computing and how this emerging technology is expected to impact soci
 ety. We will explore the quantum physics features that underpin quantum co
 mputing\, the differences between classical and quantum computing\, how to
  create a quantum bit and building quantum algorithms.\nAbout Daisy Sheare
 r:\nDaisy Shearer is a passionate science communicator and educator with a
  drive to make STEM more accessible and inclusive\, particularly for disab
 led and neurodivergent people. With a background in experimental condensed
  matter physics\, Daisy combines a deep technical knowledge of quantum tec
 hnology with a passion for teaching and public engagement to translate qua
 ntum computing concepts for a variety of audiences. At the NQCC\, Daisy le
 ads strategy\, facilitation\, delivery and practitioner research on educat
 ion\, outreach and public engagement to support the centre's work on the d
 evelopment of the quantum workforce in the UK and improving public underst
 anding of quantum computing topics.\nAbout the NQCC:\nThe NQCC is the UK's
  national lab for quantum computing and a flagship programme of UK Researc
 h and Innovation and an integral part of the UK National Quantum Technolog
 ies Programme. The centre operates within a wider landscape for quantum
  technologies development in the UK\, and works with partners across indus
 try\, government and the research community to solve technology challen
 ges and realise the benefits of quantum computers for social and economic 
 development.\n\nHybrid Meeting\n\nThis event will be held both “in per
 son” and “via Zoom”.\n\n“In Person” Logistics\n\nThe “in perso
 n” meeting will be held at our new meeting place: Rewley House\, 1 Welli
