Abstract

Quantum computing represents one of today’s most exciting frontiers in science and technology, with the potential to tackle problems that are intractable for classical computers. In this talk, I will highlight some promising applications in particle physics where quantum approaches could revolutionize analysis — including quantum optimization for combinatorial challenges at the LHC and the use of qubit-based sensors in dark matter detection.
