“Quantum Chance” - Public Talk by our member Nicolas Gisin

15 Dec 2020

Our member Nicolas Gisin (UNIGE) will be a speaker at the next SIT - Schaffhausen Institute of Technology yearly event which will take place online 16th December 2020.

 

“SIT Insights in Technology 2020 brings into dialogue the world’s keynote speakers on Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Quantum Technologies, Advanced Materials, and Business. This year’s edition is happening online and focuses on transformative science and how it can shape a better, more sustainable world.”

 

Nicolas will be a speaker at the Plenary Session "The Beauty of Science" on Wed Dec 16, 6:00 PM - 7:30 PM GMT +1 (1 hour, 30 min).

His talk will be entitled: “Quantum Chance”

Abstract: Quantum chance has a double meaning and I like to tell you about both. First, quantum technologies offer entirely new opportunities to develop inventive industries. Second, quantum randomness is a fascinating scientific revolution: the world we inhabit is not governed by deterministic laws, chance has a chance. We live extraordinary times. A major scientific revolution allows unforeseen new achievements, both in laboratories and in the real world. Moreover, today the distance between the lab and applications is getting shorter and shorter. You can already buy quantum enhanced smartphones and dream of teleportation.

 

Registration is free and is still open
