SUMMARY:Quantum Computing
DESCRIPTION:\nProf. Dominic O'Brien\, University of Oxford\nQuantum Computi
 ng has made rapid strides over the last decade\, with cloud access to earl
 y machines and a wide range of applications investigated. This talk will o
 utline the challenges in creating useful machines and describe research in
  the Quantum Computing and Simulation Hub at the University of Oxford.\nBr
 ief Biography\nProfessor Dominic O’Brien is a Professor of Engineering S
 cience at Oxford and leads the optical communications group. He is the Dir
 ector of the UK National Hub in Quantum Computing and Simulation. This is 
 one of the four Quantum Technology Hubs funded as part of the UK National 
 Quantum Technologies programme\, running from 2019-2024. He was co-directo
 r for systems integration of the NQIT hub\, which ran from 2014-2019\, and
  a member of the Blackett review of quantum technologies.\n\nHis research 
 is in optical wireless communications\, with a particular focus on system 
 demonstration\, with a number of world-firsts in this area. Recent demonst
 rations\, together with industrial and academic partners\, include Quantum
  Key Distribution free-space links between handheld devices\, between UAVs
  and ground stations\, and Terabit/s wireless links within buildings. He h
 as experience in IEEE standards\, contributing to early work in the IEEE80
 2.15.7 standard on visible light communications.\nContact information\nFor
