It will address some of the practical ways in which we can build quantum computers and give realistic timescales for how far away commercially useful systems might be. “ See this page with the full video of the talk, Q/A and discussion. This has been a great talk on a very interesting subject area by an excellent speaker who makes things clear and as simple as they can be made. Thanks Suzanne ...
