This January, we kick off with an introduction to the Quantum Computer: what does its hardware look like, and why is it so challenging to build? What can you do with a quantum computer, and how would you program such a machine? To dive into these questions, we invite two renowned experts:
– Stacey Jeffery, senior researcher at QuSoft, expert on quantum algorithms and cryptography and founder of Women in Quantum Development.

– Richard Versluis, engineering lead of the quantum computing division at QuTech, and system architect of Quantum Inspire, a platform that allows easy access to quantum computers over the cloud.
