How does a quantum computer work? What will we be able to do with it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we look at matter on the atomic scale or smaller, particles do not behave the way we are used to from everyday life. Quantum physics shows, for example, that a particle can, in a sense, pass through two doors at the same time<\/em>. This phenomenon, known as superposition, is exploited by quantum computers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While classical computers work with zeros and ones (bits), quantum computers use qubits, which\u2014until they are measured\u2014exist in a superposition of 0 and 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this workshop, participants learn more about the fascinating world of quantum physics and how it can be used for new technologies. The workshop also includes a hands-on station, where participants can experience first-hand how fundamentally different a quantum computer is compared to everyday computers.<\/p>\n\n\n

Digital City Studio<\/strong>
<\/strong>Pfarrgasse 9, 4020 Linz, Austria<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just few steps from Linz Hauptplatz, the Studio is embedded in the urban life of Linz. The central location was chosen to create low-threshold access to cutting-edge science and technology \u2014 inviting everyone to drop by, join a workshop, or simply explore. <\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
