Session L2: Public Lecture: The Quantum Engineering Conundrum

The Quantum Engineering Conundrum

There is newfound rush and excitement in Quantum Information Science, as this field seems to be moving toward an industrial/engineering phase. However, this evolution will require that quantum science, long the domain of academics and other researchers, make the leap to sustained engineering efforts in order to fabricate practical devices. I will address the conundrum, that full-blooded engineering does not generally happen on campuses, while many in the professional engineering and computer science community do not believe in quantum physics!
