DESCRIPTION:Chris Ferrie\, University of Technology Sydney and the Centre for Quantum Software and Information\n\nAlthough most of us don't actually understand quantum physics\, we know that it's mystical and awesome\, and if we understood it we'd probably be rich and beautiful and happy\, right? After all\, there are plenty of people out there trying to sell you quantum crystals to align your quantum energy with your quantum destiny. Can they all be wrong? Yes\, yes they can. In this talk\, we're going to sniff out the bullshit and break down why it stinks while dispelling the mystery of the quantum.\n\nChris Ferrie is an Associate Professor at the University of Technology Sydney and the Centre for Quantum Software and Information\, where he leads a multidisciplinary team of researchers in the areas of quantum learning and control. He obtained his PhD in Applied Mathematics from the Institute for Quantum Computing and University of Waterloo (Canada) in 2012. Chris’s passion for communicating science has led from teaching to writing children’s books\, such as Quantum Physics for Babies\, as well as a whole collection of other titles that make science accessible even for the youngest children. He latest book is decidedly not for children and is entitled Quantum Bullsh*t: How To Ruin Your Life With Advice From Quantum Physics.\n\nJoin the lecture on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXbHktd1o50 or in QNC 0101
