Royal Institution "How to grow a quantum computer"

This is a **theatre** and **livestream** talk from the **Royal Institution of Great Britain.** What could replace silicon in the quantum age? Theoretical physicist **Felix Flicker** explores the remarkable materials powering tomorrow's computers. **ADVANCE BOOKING AND PAYMENT IS REQUIRED FOR THIS TALK.** **More details and booking instructions on the RI web site:** **[https://www.rigb.org/whats-on/how-grow-quantum-computer](https://www.rigb.org/whats-on/how-grow-quantum-computer)** **SUMMARY** Computers were once the size of large rooms. This changed when physicists came to understand a new state of matter: the semiconductor. From that point on, we learnt to grow computers from crystals of silicon. These days the race is on to build a practical quantum computer. These are again the size of large rooms. What we need is a silicon for the 21st century featuring a new quantum state of matter. Theoretical physicist **Felix Flicker** returns to the Ri to discuss some possible candidates for these quantum crystals, including a naturally occurring mineral which features some (but not all) of the necessary properties. Copies of Felix's book "[The Magick of Matter: Crystals, Chaos and the Wizardry of Physics](https://geni.us/wJYFBl)" are available from here. Please note copies of the book will not be available to purchase at the Ri. This is a **theatre** and **livestream** event for an adult audience, where the speakers and audience in our Theatre are joined by our audience online. **The livestream will go live around 6.55pm, and the talk will begin at 7.00pm. If you register but miss the livestream, the video will be available to you via the same link for two weeks after the event date.** For more information on livestreams, see the information below, or [visit our FAQs page](https://www.rigb.org/whats/faqs-ri-livestreams).

LJC Meetup at Capital One

**Please register on [Eventbrite](https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/ljc-meetup-at-capital-one-tickets-2003905765087) to join this event.** **Overview** LJC Meet-ups is a series of events, aimed at giving all Community members an opportunity to present at an LJC event. The London Java Community is delighted to invite you to our next LJC Meet-up at Capital One. Join us for an evening of technical talks, fresh ideas, food, drinks and networking with fellow developers and technology professionals from across the community. This month, we have two very different but equally fascinating talks lined up. From the engineering behind Capital One UK's Server-Driven UI to an exploration of just how far procedural generation can be pushed. **Speaker 1: Sean O'Toole, Staff Software Engineer, Capital One** Title: Finite States, Infinite Possibilities: Capital One's Server-Driven UI **Abstract:** Changing anything in a mobile app is slow going: a new binary, an app-store review, and then weeks of waiting for users to actually upgrade before your change reaches everyone. That's in stark contrast to how easily we change data and ship APIs internally, where a change can be live to 100% of consumers the same day. So why stop at shipping the data? Why not ship the UI itself? That's the idea behind Server-Driven UI: the server doesn't just return the data, it returns the UI definition too, which the client then renders. In this session we'll go behind the scenes of the real-world SDUI system powering Capital One UK's mobile apps — the Spring Boot service that turns finite states into infinite user journeys, all shipped without a single app release. We'll dig into the engineering that keeps it fast: fanning out a whole journey's data in parallel, coalescing duplicate calls so we don't stampede our own backends, and the honest reason we turned virtual threads down. **About Sean O'Toole** Sean O’Toole is a Staff Software Engineer and has been with Capital One for 11 years. During this time he has completed cloud migrations, rebuilt acquisitions workflows, and built a new server-driven mobile app. His expertise spans RESTful web services in the cloud utilising Java - across servers, lambdas, and containers. Sean is also a passionate open-source contributor who maintains a suite of dinosaur-themed open source libraries for Java and Kotlin. **Speaker 2: Tom Appleyard, Solutions Architect** Title: How far can we go with procedural generation? **Abstract:** The talk will start with an overview of techniques and their applications in video games from the 80s to present. I’ll cover a variety of approaches, from generating assets (Oblivion) to scenarios (Left 4 Dead, roguelikes/FTL, Diablo) to the world itself (Dwarf Fortress, Minecraft and No Man’s Sky) if not almost the entire game (.kkrieger). Modern systems like Unreal’s Procedural Content Generation Framework and real-time use of Generative AI will also be covered. This focus for this section is technical capability: what can we do, what does it require and what are the results? The wider framing asks of the limits. Despite a rocky start, No Man’s Sky has come into its own and proved scale is possible, Dwarf Fortress proved engaging storylines can be procedurally generated and .kkrieger proved you can bootstrap the entire bloody thing from peanuts. Despite impressive technical accomplishments, marrying these together to create something that doesn’t require some level of human finesse proves elusive. I’ll conclude the talk by examining why this is, what we’re missing and whether it’s a gap that can ever be bridged. **About Tom Appleyard** Tom Appleyard is a Creative Technologist specialising in novel technologies and technical communication. He's spent much of his career translating tech for businesspeople and engineers alike into intuitions they can think with, tangible skills they can build with and how to present & communicate it all themselves. **What to Expect** Come along for an evening of: * Two engaging technical talks * Practical insights and thought-provoking ideas * Questions and discussion with our speakers * Networking with fellow Java developers and technology professionals * Food and drinks * Rooftop drinks and networking after the talks Whether you're interested in Java, backend engineering, mobile architecture, procedural generation, AI, game development or simply want to connect with the wider technology community, there'll be something to take away from the evening. **Event Schedule** 17:30 — Event opens: food, beverages, and networking 18:30 — Welcome and Intro to Capital One 18:35 — Sean O'Toole 19:05 — Break (10 mins) 19:15 — Tom Appleyard 19:45 — Closing remarks & invite to rooftop 19:50 — Head to rooftop: drinks and networking 21:00 — Event closes **Important: Please Bring ID** Please make sure you bring valid ID with you to the event.

Build AI That Sees the Physical World: Vision AI Agent

An evening of hands-on building, food, drinks and builders. ​[viso.ai](https://viso.ai/?utm_source=luma) is taking over Red Lion Moorgate for a hands-on workshop where anyone can build a real, working visual AI agent for the physical world by using nothing but natural language. ​From an emergency room where a patient has been waiting too long, to a factory line where a product comes out wrong, to a tennis court tracking how many people are playing versus waiting. If a camera can see it, you can build an agent that understands it and acts on it. Dinner and drinks are on us so you can keep building. ​**What to expect:** * ​Build a working visual AI agent on anything in the physical world — everything you ever wanted your cameras or footage to detect, monitor and act on. * ​Free Viso Now credits for every attendee to keep building after the event. * ​Food, snacks and drinks throughout the evening. * ​Builders community networking. ​**Schedule** * ​6:00pm: Doors open, food and drinks * ​6:30pm: [viso.ai](https://viso.ai/?utm_source=luma) team intro and platform demo * ​7:00pm–8:00pm: Building begins * ​8:30pm: Close ​Come for the whole evening or drop in after work. Space is limited and registration needs approval.
