QICS Conference « L’ordinateur quantique : état des lieux »
(In French for the general public)

Au début du XXe siècle, les physiciens ont découvert les lois curieuses régissant le monde de l’infiniment petit, la physique quantique. À la fin du XXe siècle, les chercheurs ont montré que ces lois permettent d’envisager de construire des ordinateurs beaucoup plus puissants. En ce début de XXIe siècle, cette promesse théorique commence à se matérialiser. Au cours de cette conférence, deux chercheurs — un physicien et un informaticien — exposeront les principes qui sous-tendent l’architecture des ordinateurs quantiques et feront un point sur la situation en 2022 : où en est-on précisément de ces développements technologiques ?
