Quantum physics is getting more and more relevant today, as technology advances. News about quantum computers and networks are starting to appear on mainstream news sites, but they are still a mystery for most. Professor Sándor Imre, the R&D director of the Quantum Information National Lab of Hungary will tell you everything you need to know about the topic at the next Alumni Hungary Webinar on 15 June.
About the presenter:
Sándor Imre is a professor and the Head of the Department of Networked Systems and Sevices at the Budapest University of Technology (BME). He obtained dr. univ. degree in probability theory and statistics in 1996, a Ph.D. degree in 1999, and a DSc degree from the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (HAS) in 2007. He was elected a corresponding member of HAS in 2019 and he is the vice-chairman of the Section of Engineering Sciences of HAS since 2021. He was invited to join the Mobile Innovation Centre of BME as R&D director between 2005-2015. Similarly, he is the R&D director of the Quantum Information National Lab of Hungary since 2020. His research interests include mobile and wireless systems, quantum computing, and communications. Especially he has contributed to quantum optimization algorithms, quantum security, and quantum communication protocols.
Webinar content:
In his presentation prof. Imre will guide you across the strange and exciting realm of nanoscale Nature. This is the world where nothing is sure, effects are faster than light and cats are dead/alive at the same time. After a brief introduction to the fundamentals of quantum mechanics from an engineering application point of view, we will discuss the operation of quantum computers: How are they superior to classical computers? What problems will they solve efficiently? Are our crypto solutions in danger? Next, we investigate quantum networks: How will they combat quantum attacks? Will they be faster than classical nets? And finally, we survey the European and Hungarian efforts in this field.
