Summary of yhe conference:
The key experiment in interpreting the behavior of quantum systems is first described: The double-slit experiment. Next, the mental experiment known as "Schrödinger's cat" is used to illustrate the concept of superposition of states, which is the basis of quantum computing. Finally, recently published calculations of molecular systems made with quantum computers are described.
