Building large-scale quantum computers has become a global priority, with over $49 billion invested worldwide. Their potential spans from breaking RSA encryption, which underpins most digital security, to accelerating drug discovery and advancing climate solutions. But how does one actually build such a machine? This talk will explore this question as a pedagogical introduction for undergraduate students: what a quantum computer is, why it matters, and how it can be constructed.12:00 pm EDT/GMT-4
