Are we on the cusp of a revolution in quantum computing? What does it mean for security and cryptography? And will it get us closer to a general artificial intelligence? Lily and Gordon chat to Professor Elham Kashefi - quantum computing professor at the University of Edinburgh - to find out all of this and more. Elham is the Personal Chair in Quantum Computing at the School of Informatics University of Edinburgh and also the co-founder of VeriQloud. You can email us at DataFest@thedatalab.com or keep up to date with DataFest at https://datafest.global and on Twitter @datafest_ Your hosts are Gordon Johnstone - Head of DataFest at The Data Lab, Scotland's innovation centre for data and artificial intelligence hosted by the University of Edinburgh - and Lily Higham, Senior Automation Engineer at the BBC World Service. Music provided by Post Coal Prom Queen.

Quantum Computing with Elham Kashefi

Personally, I don't like the terms *alternative medicine or complementary care.*   The things we do either are working toward helping us to maintain and improve our health or they are not.   Elham Kashefi recently watched her dear friend Tara succumb to cancer. During the time she was receiving treatment it became very clear that the medical system taking care of her was incomplete.   The system was built only to respond to things after they had gone wrong and was only able to respond in a limited number of ways. Based on this experience Elham founded the Tara Project with the goal of providing people with the information they need to recognize the things they can do to maintain and improve their health in daily life. It also aims to help people post-diagnosis by providing them with comprehensive information so that they can make informed choices about their health.

Pod #143: A Comprehensive Approach To Health /w Elham Kashefi

The Turing Research Symposium Lecture 2 by Dr Elham Kashefi: Quantum Turing Test.A fundamental goal in quantum information processing is to test a machine’s (or more generally nature’s) ability to exhibit quantum behaviour. The most celebrated result in this domain, which has been also demonstrated experimentally, is the celebrated Bell Theorem that verifies the non-local nature of quantum mechanics. Could we generalise such approaches to verify that a given device is in fact taking advantage of quantum mechanics rather than being a disguised classical machine? Considering the exponential regime of quantum mechanics, the issue of the efficiency of such tests is the key challenge from the complexity point of view. On the other hand, from the foundational point of view, it is an intriguing open question whether a fully classical scheme could verify any quantum properties of a larger system while being experimentally feasible. Kashefi presents some recent progress towards this direction that also has surprising consequences on an entirely different open question, the existence of fully homomorphic encryption schemes.Presented by Dr Elham Kashefi, School of Informatics, the University of Edinburgh.The Turing Research Symposium was organised by the Royal Society of Edinburgh and the University of Edinburgh School of Informatics in partnership with SICSA and supported by Cambridge University Press.
