UCSB Library Outreach would like to share with you that there are two upcoming events in the UCSB Library for World Quantum Day. Both events include Quantum Foundry members and encourage you to come out and show your support.
The first event is a fun and interactive drop-in event designed to build your quantum intuition. Free UCSB Reads 2022 tee-shirts will be distributed while supplies last. The second is a panel discussion with academic and industry experts in quantum mechanics. More information about both events is below:
Untangling Entanglement & Other Quantum Ideas
In the final story in this year’s UCSB Reads book Exhalation: Stories by Ted Chiang, quantum computers allow people to explore divergent timelines. At UCSB, scientists are working on developing real quantum computers that do not allow for divergent timelines but will help address pressing problems such as optimizing delivery routes and strengthening password encryption.
Quantum physics defies our intuition about how the physical world is supposed to work. Are you curious about quantum physics and quantum computing? Drop by the Library on World Quantum Day and participate in fun interactive games and activities designed to build your quantum intuition.
Activities were developed by three NSF-funded projects at UCSB and will be led by graduate students working with these projects: EPiQC, Quander, and the Quantum Foundry.
The event is free and open to the public. UCSB Reads 2022 tee-shirts will be distributed while supplies last
How Quantum Mechanics Affects Our Lives: A Panel Discussion
Join industry and academic experts in the quantum field for a panel inspired by Ted Chiang's story "Anxiety is the Dizziness of Freedom." Ted Chiang's Exhalation: Stories is the UCSB Reads pick for 2022.
Panelists include Kerem Camsari (Electrical & Computer Engineering), Sabrina Hong (Quantum Google AI), Matt McEwen (PhD student, Quantum Foundry), Seamus O'Hara (PhD Student, Quantum Foundry), and Erik Lucero (Quantum Google AI) will moderate.
