Professor Ivan Damgård will discuss the impact of quantum computing on cryptography, particularly how the advent of large-scale quantum computers could disrupt current cryptographic systems. He will explore different approaches to address this challenge, including solutions that leverage quantum communication and others that do not, comparing their…

Klaus Mølmer will offer a brief, non-technical introduction to the quantum mechanical revolution a century ago and explain why the physics community was and always will be divided over the interpretation of its two unique features: the superposition principle and the measurement postulate. We experience now a second quantum revolution with dreams…

The usefulness of quantum computing is often considered well-understood from a theoretical point of view. Textbooks will tell you a lot about certain tasks that a quantum computer may be better at than its classical counterpart. Finding a good 'use case for a quantum computer is, however, not that simple. In this talk, I will give some examples of…

On May 23, 2024, Aarhus University holds the official kickoff for Quantum Campus Aarhus (QCA), an initiative spearheaded by the Faculty of Natural Sciences (NAT).
