As part of a series of lectures by prominent scientists dedicated to the Science Day of Kazakhstan, a lecture by Doctor of Physico-Mathematical Sciences, Professor, Honorary Academician Medeu Abishev on "Quantum technologies and quantum information" was held in the scientific library of al-Farabi Kazakh National University. The event brought together young researchers, doctoral students and undergraduates from physics and technology and other faculties.

The event was opened by Margulan Ibraimov, Member of the Board, Vice–Rector for Research and Innovation. Introducing the lecturer, the Vice-rector emphasized his significant contribution to the development of Russian science. He noted that Medeu Abishev is a recognized expert in the field of theoretical and nuclear physics, the author of more than 90 scientific papers and the head of the KazNU Center for Medical Physics. "Medeu Yerzhanovich is a graduate of our university who has worked his way up from a postgraduate student to the head of the Department of Theoretical and Nuclear Physics, having solved the fundamental problem of unambiguity of equations of motion of bodies in general relativity",- Margulan Ibraimov introduced the speaker.

During the lecture, Professor Medeu Abishev highlighted the path of science development from the basics of quantum physics to the prospects for future highly complex computing. The scientist explained that quantum technologies are not just a matter of increasing speed, but a fundamentally new way of using the laws of nature. According to the lecturer, the results of the "first quantum revolution" have long been part of our daily routine in the form of transistors, lasers and microchips.

Medeu Abishev elaborated on three fundamental ideas of mechanics – superposition, quantum entanglement and measurement, which underlie modern communications and sensors. He noted that quantum computers offer incredible opportunities in the search for new drugs, the creation of innovative materials and the optimization of complex production processes. At the same time, the lecturer clarified that such machines are designed for specific calculations and will not completely replace classical computers.

Special attention was paid to the issues of security and quantum communication. The professor spoke about the work of quantum key distribution (QKD), where any attempt to intercept information inevitably changes the state of the system, allowing instant detection of outside interference.

Summarizing his speech, the scientist emphasized that today quantum sensors are used in navigation, geology and medicine, helping to detect delicate changes in the parameters of gravity and magnetic fields. In conclusion, he answered the questions of the audience thoroughly and fully, thanking the audience for their interest in the lecture.
