Title
A Foretaste of Quantum Theory and Quantum Computing
Abstract
All things linked to the word "Quantum" seem almost intractable, and deter the unitiated from embarking into in-depth study, for fear of stumbling against the arcane and the amazingly abstruse. And, while deep study of Quantum Theory and Quantum Computing is certainly not easy (no serious mathematical study is), the foundations and elementary features of these disciplines are well within the grasp of the uninitiated, provided the correct, reasonably intuitive point of view is found from which to tackle Quantum considerations. This talk, directed to the inexperienced student, aims to lift the veil of mystery shrouding all things Quantum, and at the same time whet the appetite for more, ideally by following a course which it is hoped to be developed in Oporto University in the near future.
