Computing with quantum cats: From colossus to qubits
Science writer John Gribbin gives an account of the nature of quantum reality, arguing for a universe of many parallel worlds where ‘everything is real’. Looking back to Alan Turing’s work on the Enigma machine and the first electronic computer, John explains how quantum theory developed to make quantum computers work in practice as well as telling us what this means for the future of technology.

e-Futures: beyond Moore's Law
Moore’s Law of scaling has driven microelectronics to revolutionise computer and communication technologies. In the 21st Century, microelectronics will deliver integration of new and non-electronic functionality for optical, chemical and biological systems. In this scientific meeting international leaders will be brought together to discuss the diverse opportunities and methodologies that will define this exciting field in the next 20 years.

“The WorldWide Telescope”- A presentation by Harvard Astronomer Alyssa Goodman
In her presentation, Harvard Astronomer Alyssa Goodman will take her audience on interactive tours of the Universe using the WorldWide Telescope (WWT), covering topics ranging from Galileo’s understanding of our Solar System to our modern understanding of the structure of the distant Universe.
Goodman has collaborated with the creators of WWT at Microsoft Research since its creation in 2008. The free WWT computer program is a stunningly beautiful tool offering immersive views of the sky and multimedia links to interactive descriptions and explanations of millions of celestial objects. WWT is used both in astrophysi...
