Dr. Travis Humble will give us an inside look at quantum computing—what it can do today, where it’s headed, and why it matters. He’ll share about his work with ORNL’s first on-site, commercial quantum computer cluster, which uses diamond-based quantum processor units that can operate at room temperature in a relatively small package.
