You don’t have to have a background in physics or computing to enjoy and understand this week's Dixie Forum with Curtis Larsen. So just come and learn about quantum computers at our last Dixie Forum of the semester!
According to Curtis, quantum computers use an entirely different physical mechanism for computing solutions to problems than current computers. The quantum computer theory demonstrates methods for calculating results exponentially faster than current computer for some problems.
The most widely noted example is the factoring of very large numbers, which would allow a functioning quantum computer to break almost all of the information encryption schemes in use today.
The presentation will review the principles of classical physics, current computer systems, and the theory of what can be computed. Then the relevant principles of quantum mechanics, quantum computers, and quantum algorithms will be discussed.
Students are invited to this open session of the Student Government Executive Council.

Tue 12/1 7:30pm Symphony Band Concert
Symphony Band Concert
The Dixie State College Symphony Band will team with the Desert Hills High School Concert Band to kick-off the College's slate of Holiday concerts with a special engagement.
The DHHS Concert Band, directed by Mike Winslow, will begin the evening with a number of spirited selections. Followed by a brief intermission, the 78-piece DSC Symphony Band, under the direction of Gary Caldwell, will perform six compositions, many of which with a Christmas theme, beginning with James Curnow's "Inventions from The Sacred Harp," followed by "Fanfare and Hark! The Herald Angels Sing," a Robert Longfield adaptation of Chip Davis' arrangement from the Mannheim Steamroller CD entitled "A Fresh Air Christmas."
General admission tickets will be available at the door for $5 for adults and $1 for DSC students and faculty and staff with current ID.
Now in its 34th year, this annual holiday tradition features the works of many DSC art students who use the sale to help pay for their college education. Hundreds of hand-made ceramic and pottery pieces will be on sale at reasonable prices, with 20% of all proceeds going to support the DSC art department.
According to DSC art professor Glenn Blakley, the sale gives students the opportunity market their wares. He added that the students’ ability to sell their art is an important learning objectives as they gain a first-hand knowledge of what the public likes about what their creations.
“The students have thrown over 12,000 pounds of clay this semester and they have produced some excellent pieces of ceramics,” Blakley said. “These beautiful pieces will be on sale and at a great price, too. The public is invited to come and purchase ceramics from the sale.”
