Quantum Computing: a future perspective for scientific computing
Quantum computing is rapidly emerging as a new method of scientific computing. It has the potential to solve problems that are very hard or even impossible for classical computers.
In the talk, I will introduce quantum computing starting from a basic level. Examples of quantum computing applications using quantum computer hardware will be given. These comprise physical systems in condensed matter and high energy physics, flight gate assignment at an airport as a classical optimization problem, scattering of wave packets and also quantum art.



![3D visualisation of human neuronal tissue reconstructed by multi-scale X-ray phase contrast tomography. Neuronal cell nuclei are shown in yellow for the granule neurons in the dentate gyrus region of the hippocampus. Blood vessels are shown in red. By changing the X-ray optical magnification in the multi-scale recordings, one can zoom into regions-of-interest (red ovals). In these scans the resolution is high enough to resolve sub-structures of the nucleus, associated with different DNA packing regimes.
