Science Sundays: "Quantum computers: the hype, the science, and the need"

 Classical computers — the kind that come to mind when we say "computer" — are extraordinarily powerful; they've sent people to the moon, mapped the human genome, and discovered new drugs. What then is a quantum computer and why do we need one at all? Join us this Sunday, Oct. 11 at the Fawcett Center for this month's Science Sundays lecture featuring Physics Professor Nandini Trivedi.
