Qubits Uncovered: The Gateway to Quantum Computing
This Masterclass with Prof Francesco Petruccione of Stellenbosch University offers an accessible exploration into the world of quantum computing, focusing on the qubit—the fundamental unit of quantum information. In this class, we demystify core quantum concepts such as superposition, interference, and measurement through hands-on demonstrations that can be performed with just one qubit. Designed for a diverse audience including computer scientists, mathematicians, and curious minds alike, the course illustrates how a single qubit can generate true randomness, secure data using quantum cryptography, and even implement simple algorithms. Join us to discover how understanding one qubit opens the door to the revolutionary possibilities of quantum technology.
