Prof Andy Stanford-Clark will introduce the mind-bending principles of quantum computing, give some history of the technology, and describe potential application areas for quantum computers. He will take us on tour inside a real quantum computer, and explain how you can get free hands-on experience of IBM's quantum computer, and start to learn how to program these exciting new machines.
View EventQuantum physics describes the behaviour of small particles such as atoms or photons and their behaviour is very different from the macroscopic world with which we are familiar.
View EventAs the UK investment drives a new phase of the National Quantum Technologies Programme, there will be significant opportunities for multi-disciplinary work and the contribution that we as engineers can make will be vital to the commercialisation of quantum technologies and computing across all sectors.
View EventIn this talk, a number of the UK’s leading quantum companies will describe their journey to turn science experiment into saleable product.
View EventIn this presentation, Chong Li, Professor of Microwave Engineering from the University of Glasgow, will provide insights into key developments in the relatively brief history of microwave engineering. Furthermore, he will share his visionary perspectives on the imminent future of this dynamic field.
View EventThere have been several well publicized incidents over the past few years in refinery and petrochemical facilities. Incident reports from amongst others, the U.S. Chemical Safety Board and papers from ARC Advisory Group and Marsh McLennan Insurance Company show that many of these incidents can be attributed to operational errors. On closer examination of possible actions during a crisis, such as mistakes due to confusion and time taken to understand the value of information being presented, it begs the question, “Could we have provided better decision support to manage and possibly even prevent these incidents?” In fact, could technology provide better safety and business benefits in general? The presentation presents and explains three functional safety standards that could help, during the presentation the history, status and planned evolution of these standards will be discussed.
