LivMS Event: * *Date:* 11 Oct, 2018 * *Time:* 17:30 - 18:30 * *Presenter:* Richard Pinch (formerly Strategic Advisor, Mathematics and Security Research at GCHQ) * *Title:* Computing The Future * *Audience:* Year 11 up, teachers and all those interested in mathematics and its applications. * *Venue:* Lecture Theatre 2, Redmonds Building, Liverpool John Moores University, Brownlow Hill L3 5UG ** https://www.ljmu.ac.uk/study/undergraduate-students/visit-us/directions/redmonds-building * *Contact:* Peter Giblin pjgiblin@liv.ac.uk ---- !! NO TICKETS REQUIRED Free to all students and all members of LivMS. Others pay a door charge of £4. Car Parking: There is a multi-storey car park very close to the Redmonds Building. See web-link: * https://liverpool.gov.uk/parking-travel-and-roads/council-car-parks/mount-pleasant/ The traffic entrance to this car park is near the bottom of Mount Pleasant. The car park closes at 8pm [[[< IMG:Quantum_refrigeratorA.jpg ]]] New ways of computing, not based on the further micro-miniaturisation of silicon circuits, are emerging as practical realities. The arrival of quantum computing is now a practical consideration for large companies and national and international bodies; and looking a little further ahead, data storage and processing based on the biological properties of DNA have been demonstrated in the laboratory. Quantum computing is the new buzzword -- Richard Pinch has been looking into what computers will look like after quantum tech arrives and what newer ideas are still on the drawing board. Mathematics -- old, new and as yet unknown -- will be the key to developing and exploiting these new technologies.
