Chasing Consciousness: Quantum Computing, AIs, and Us

Want to know what quantum computing really is? Could a quantum computer actually outstrip all known digital computers and build a better AI? Can a quantum computer become conscious? Who knows how to write algorithms for a quantum machine? What is quantum mechanics anyway and why is it such a beautiful headache?

Join acclaimed science journalist and author George Musser and YHouse co-founder and scientist Caleb Scharf as they struggle and sweat over these questions and more. If you’ve ever wanted a beginner’s guide to quantum physics, quantum computers, and one possible future for AI then this is your lucky evening! Get your wavefunction over to Caveat.
