Rainer Blatt, a professor at the Institute for Experimental Physics at the University of Innsbruck in Austria, will be giving a public lecture at 7:00 p.m., May 3 in the 100 Auditorium of the Engineering Building at Colorado State University.

Blatt’s lecture, titled “The Quantum Way of Doing Computations,” will cover his research on quantum computers, which could work much faster than regular computers and could be a prevalent tool in the next 10 to 20 years. His lecture will be geared for a general audience.
