Quantum mechanics, the science of the atomic world, allows the construction of a fundamentally new type of computer which is capable of massively parallel computation. Such a machine would be able to break the strongest codes. Quantum computing is still in its infancy, however. This talk will describe the basic strategy and future potential of quantum computation.

No technology in the history of humanity has undergone such
sweeping transformations as electronics. As part of the
celebration of the Clairtone stereo exhibit, this talk will examine the physics and design of audio electronics from the 1930’s to the
present day.
