What if a new type of computer existed which, in seconds, could solve problems that take today’s fastest supercomputers years? This, in a nutshell, is the compelling premise of quantum computing, and the ‘what if?’ which has propelled computer scientist and former MIT professor Scott Aaronson throughout his exceptional academic career. It also forms the basis of his forthcoming inaugural G-Research Lecture: “Quantum Computing and the limits of the Efficiently Computable” — the first in a series of science & technology lectures hosted by G-Research in London. As a leading quantitative research and technology company G-Research has a deep interest in ground-breaking scientific research and cutting-edge technology. The G-Research Lecture Series aims to inform and inspire those who share that interest, inviting the world’s leading science and technology thinkers to share their research and ideas with G-Research employees, academic researchers and the public.
