In 1981, Richard Feynman gave a keynote that proposed simulating physics with computers. We’ve come a long way with the resulting quantum computers, and you may have heard about business use cases for them. But how much progress has been made in using the machines to understand the universe? Who better to ask than Dr. Harry Cliff from the Large Hadron Collider? He discusses how quantum computers can simulate particle interactions or handle the mind-boggling amounts of data generated at CERN. We also dive into his new book, Space Oddities. Join Host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a chat with Harry Cliff from Cambridge and the LHCb experiment.

Space Oddities is available beginning March 26, 2024, wherever books are sold.
