6th February 2025 - Quantum Computing

At our February meeting, Dave Waymont gave a talk entitled "Quantum Algorithms".  This was a follow up to the talk at the Maths and Physics meeting entitled "Qubits and how to make them".  Dave's presentation showed us how the characteristics of a Qubit could be translated into Quantum circuits with various Quantum gates (everything now has Quantum in front of it), and thereby perform calculations.  The number of algorithms which run faster on a quantum computer is (currently) very limited.  A super talk and we all went home to rest our brains!
