The allure of quantum mechanics has captivated tech enthusiasts for years. This unintuitive science is not hypothetical—it’s happening now. MIT Professor Peter H. Fisher will present a compelling and approachable introduction to quantum mechanics and how it is already being deployed to advance a range of technologies. Covering phenomena that exist at the intersection of computing, physics, chemistry, and more, this talk is designed to appeal to both informed audiences and those with no prior knowledge of the field.
Learn how quantum computers process complex information more efficiently than classical computers, how quantum sensors and communications work, and what further possibilities lie ahead in this exciting field.

Jordan McRae ’05 was scuba diving off the coast of Mozambique many years ago when he started having trouble with his regulator. Unable to breathe effectively, he signaled to a fellow diver for help—but his companion didn’t understand and ended up making the situation worse. “I didn’t die, but I was pretty scared,” McRae says.
The experience inspired McRae to seek a technical solution to the problem of communicating in challenging audio environments. Today he is the founder and CEO of Mobilus Labs, a startup commercializing a voice communication platform that works wherever it is hard to hear.
