Lecture 12: Quantum Computing in Ireland

Lecture 12: Quantum Computing in Ireland#

Overview

This is a placeholder for the in house lecture from ICHEC. It will be populated in due time with necessary prerequisits, and supplementary content on ICHEC’s activities on quantum computing.

Summary#

This is a live lecture, and covers Irish footprint on Quantum computing. We recall the scientist from Ireland whose discoveries helped the quantum computing, discuss the current research and industry activities in quantum computing, and describe ICHEC’s positioning in the quantum computing ecosystem in Ireland.

References#

Below is a list of books on a wide range of topics related to quantum computing and quantum mechanics. Students are encouraged to further their studies by selecting the topics that interest them most.

Note

Some of the topics are so new and still in developement, that there are no books available on the topic or if there are, they might be partially or completely out of date.
