CONTACT:Jamie Vicary
DESCRIPTION:Quantum computers are based the laws of quantum mechanics rath
 er than Boolean logic\; this implies very different algorithmic capabiliti
 es and\, perhaps more surprisingly\, very different issues across the boar
 d from software architecture to formal methods.  In this talk I’ll give 
 a broad overview of the current state of the art in 2021 and focus on some
  issues of current interest/terror.\n\n<i>COVID information.</i> The room 
 will be well-ventilated and the audience well-spaced. Participants are exp
 ected to have taken a recent lateral flow test before attending. Masks may
  of course be worn by any participant if they desire\; N95 masks are cheap
  and readily available\, and protect the wearer as well as others. Any par
 ticipant also has the right to request that everybody in the room wears as
  mask\; such a request can be made at the time of the talk\, or if the req
 uester prefers to stay anonymous\, by email to the organizer in advance.
