CIFAR Virtual Talks: Is the future of computing quantum?

For decades, the word “quantum” has been nearly synonymous with “magic” in the popular imagination. With recent advances and breakthroughs in quantum technology, real applications of quantum computers feel closer than ever. Will quantum technologies live up to their potential? Join CIFAR Associate Fellow Dave Bacon (IonQ) and CIFAR Fellow Stephanie Simmons (Simon Fraser University) as they explore what quantum has in store for computation.

Our 2021 series of Virtual Talks, Brilliant Minds | Bold Questions, explores the most important questions facing science and humanity. Each 30-45 minute talk pairs speakers and moderators from across disciplines, sectors, and the world to explore the questions shaping our collective future.
