Mock Lecture Title: Sorting It All Out: Classical and Quantum Computers
Content: We are running out of computing power. Or, more correctly, our computers have mostly stopped getting faster, but we would still have problems we’d like to solve that need faster computers. A hot new topic in the research world is “quantum computers”, which might solve some problems faster. What problems? How much faster? We will talk about this using the example of sorting lots of data. This session will be interactive, come and join the sort!
