Raymond Laflamme is the director of the Institute for Quantum Computing at the University of Waterloo and holds the Canada Research Chair in Quantum Information. He will give a brief introduction to quantum computing and why it matters, followed by a talk on programming quantum computers. This is followed by tours of IQC Labs.
