Workshop: Emerging Platforms for Quantum Computing

Information

As technology based on classical physics becomes increasingly mature, quantum technology is inevitable, feasible, and desirable. The construction of a useful scalable quantum computer is the holy grail of this second quantum revolution, which will usher in another industrial revolution. There is no doubt about the potential of quantum technology as Feymann once said: there is plenty of room at the bottom. The construction of a scalable useful quantum computer is still a long–term challenge. Since it is not yet clear what would be the successful approach to a useful quantum computer, we should discuss openly wide possible approaches for quantum computing in the interaction of experiment, theory and mathematics.
