About event
The Learned Society of the Czech Republic is hosting a discussion on whether we will ever have practically relevant quantum computers.
🔹Balling Conference Hall, National Library of Technology, Technická 6, Prague 6
🔹Tuesday, 20 May, 2025, 6:00 PM (CEST)
🔹Free admission,‼️registration required‼️ – https://www.techlib.cz/en/85096-quantum-duel-do-quantum-computers-exist

Matthias Christandl from the University of Copenhagen argues that qubits (units of information that are “both 0 and 1 at the same time”) have already been created, and that this will lead to the development of useful quantum computers.
Gil Kalai from the Reichman University and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem does not dispute the creation of qubits, but he argues that, because of their inherent properties, we will never have practically relevant quantum computers.
