Information processing devices are pervasive in our society; from the 5
|
||||
dollar watches to multi-billions satellite network. These devices have
|
||||
allowed the information revolution which is developing around us. It has
|
||||
transformed not only the way we communicate or entertain ourselves but
|
||||
also the way we do science and even the way we think. All this
|
||||
information is manipulated using the classical approximation to the laws
|
||||
of physics, but we know that there is a better approximation: the
|
||||
quantum mechanical laws. Would using quantum mechanics for information
|
||||
processing be an impediment or could it be an advantage? This is the
|
||||
fundamental question at the heart of quantum information processing
|
||||
(QIP). QIP is a young field with an incredible potential impact reaching
|
||||
from the way we understand fundamental physics to technological
|
||||
applications. I will give an overview of the Institute for Quantum
|
||||
Computing, comment on the effort in this field at Waterloo and in
|
||||
Canada and, time permitted visit some of the IQC labs.

To kick off the contest we're hosting an in-house coding session starting
|

at 4:00PM on Thursday, February 14th in MC2061. Members of our contest
|

administration team will be available to help you work out the details of

our APIs, answer questions, and provide the necessities of life (ie,
|
||||
pizza). Submissions will open no later than 5:00PM on February 14th
|
||||
and will close no earlier than 12:00PM on February 17th.
