Atomic and Laser Physics
Want to make something feel immediately complicated, inaccessible or downright mysterious? Stick the word 'quantum' in front of it. Or, at least, that's how many of us feel. In the latest episode of the Oxford Sparks podcast series, DPhil student William Cutler from the Department of Physics breaks things down, explaining exactly what a quantum computer is, and sharing the remarkable potential that quantum computing holds for advancing fields ranging from drug-discovery to internet security.
