Description

The past two years have seen rapid advances in building scalable quantum computers. It is now widely expected that a device that cannot be simulated by any classical computer (so-called ‘quantum computational supremacy’) will emerge in 2019. The prospect of a relatively near-term device capable of a quantum advantage has sparked a huge amount of excitement in academia, industry and government funding.

This joint workshop of the five Centres will focus on translating mathematical research into technological advances, as well as outreach and linkage with clinicians and end-user companies. It will present the opportunity to hear in detail about the project collaborations, research and outcomes from each Centre. The programme will aim not only to nurture the mathematical research associated with the Centres, but to engage end-users to ensure that best practice is spread as widely as possible.
 

This workshop aims to highlight the importance of state-of-art mathematical modelling for complex soft matter material development. Models and basic understanding is not just of theoretical interest, but indeed is a  key requirement for being able to access and further develop the true potential of these materials - to optimise them, to combine them into new materials, and to use them for creating new devices, with predefined abilities and behaviours.

This knowledge exchange event by the Newton Gateway to Mathematics takes place as part of the INI Research Programme on the Fickle Heart – within the workshop on Uncertainty Quantification for Cardiovascular Simulations. This particular event will open up the discussion to a wider audience, including those working in biotechnology, healthcare, pharmaceuticals and the public sector.
