Here’s a nice bit of coverage in the Pioneer magazine of the IMPACT! show, also featuring the 5th Dimensional Camera, with a review by Lord Robert Winston. And EPSRC have just released the lovely film they made during the show:

Quick Overview: As work is underway to harness the weird nature of our subatomic world to build a quantum computer, we, as designers, where given the unique opportunity to explore what the wider implications of living in a world with quantum computing might be. Initially we investigated the many possibilities that this new form of [...]

When the theory of quantum physics was first developed the technological innovations that followed, including lasers and semiconductor electronics, transformed our world. Scientists are now working towards a second revolution, as they attempt to build a fundamentally new kind of machine: “a quantum computer that could manipulate the fabric of reality in order to perform [...]

The title of this post is inspired from the famous Schrödinger thought experiment. A cat is placed in a sealed box with some poison, whether the poison is released or not is controlled by a random ‘quantum event’ such as radioactive decay. In the experiment, the cat must be simultaneously both dead and alive until [...]
