Rise of Quantum Machine microchip

Malta Cafe Scientifique – Rise of the Quantum Machines

Spazju Kreattiv Cinema St James Cavalier, Castille Place, Valletta

In everyday life, a spilled glass of water will never unspill. As the nursery rhyme goes, Humpty Dumpty will never be put back together. Bizarrely, a quantum glass can actually unspill, and a quantum Humpty Dumpty may well put himself back together. It is this kind of strange behaviour which makes it difficult to design quantum machines. And it is this subject which will be the focus of the third session of the Malta Cafe Scientifique series for this season.

Malta Cafè Scientifique – Visualising Social Wellbeing

Spazju Kreattiv Cinema St James Cavalier, Castille Place, Valletta

Society is always changing, that is a fact. Scientists, statisticians, sociologists and anthropologists - all find it quite difficult to keep up with. Now imagine re-creating that same rapidly changing scenario, but this time, as a virtual environment where everything can be designed, controlled and tested.
