Fast forward 50 years, and recent advances in quantum computing have got Müller just as excited as he was back then.
“This is an amazing time, it’s like being in a giant candy store,” says Müller, a UVic professor of computer science. “Quantum computing is a completely new type of computing—a whole new paradigm—and it’s given me that same feeling all over again.”
Since mid-2019, Müller has worked tirelessly to create and orchestrate the most extensive, high-profile international conference believed ever to have been held on quantum computing.
