SUMMARY:Quantum Computers and their potential to revolutionise our lives (a
 nd AGM)
DESCRIPTION:\n\nDr Seb Weidt\n University of Sussex\n\nComputers have trans
 formed the way we live however there are a vast amount of problems even th
 e most powerful computer would take a million years to solve. A quantum co
 mputer\, a completely new type of computer built using quantum technology\
 , may hold the key to change this completely. It may open the door to impa
 ct society on many levels\, for example enabling powerful new drugs to be 
 developed\, advanced encryption to be broken and some of nature’s deepes
 t secrets to be unravelled. So\, can we actually build a quantum computer?
  We have recently unveiled the world’s first industrial blueprint for co
 nstructing a trapped ion quantum computer. I will discuss this work and at
 tempt to shed some light on how these incredible machines work and how the
 y may revolutionize our lives.\nEvening Agenda\nSandwiches and light refre
 shments are served from 6:30. The AGM starts at 7:30.\n\nAGM Agenda\n\n 	W
