About:

This public lecture was presented by mathematician Ben Barber.

If you look deep inside a quantum computer you'll see weird physics. If you look slightly less closely you'll see a surprising amount of combinatorics. Ben described how combinatorialists solving hard problems might let quantum computers solve harder ones, and showed some problems that the audience could think about.
