Meet the Quantum Computers: Exhibition, Research Labs Tour and Hands-on Experience

[Update on October 10, 2021 (Sunday) at 9:00am]
Please note that today’s exhibition and guided demonstration & labs tour sessions will be held as scheduled.

Since the weather condition will still be unstable today, please check out this page regularly for any update on the arrangements.

Overview

This exhibition provides you with a first encounter of a real quantum computer. Although a general-purpose quantum computer with thousands or even more qubits are still far from reach, in this exhibition we feature a prototypical quantum computer with two qubits. The system uses the nuclear spins of the phosphorous and hydrogen atoms in a dimethylphosphite molecule to define a two-qubit quantum register. These nuclear spins can then be initialized, addressed, and subsequently read-out using nuclear magnetic resonance techniques. In the demonstration, you will witness how the qubits can be manipulated and observe, in real time, the results of a quantum computation. The development of quantum computers is only at infancy; you are now part of the witness. Welcome to the future.
