Quantum technology meets society – how do we shape the future together? Julia Cramer (Leiden University) explores how we can communicate quantum in an age of skepticism and ‘spooky’ science.

Achieving a provable exponential quantum speedup for an important machine learning task has been a central research goal since the seminal HHL quantum algorithm for solving linear systems and the subsequent quantum recommender systems algorithm by Kerenidis and Prakash. These algorithms were initially believed to be strong candidates for…

The majority of envisioned quantum technologies require robust properties, so that noise and disorder need not be suppressed to impractical levels. Thus, there is considerable interest in materials with quantum states that are topologically protected against disorder.

Topological quantum chemistry shows how the symmetry of local orbitals at…

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…
