The lab, which was in the capital just for a day, has been created to educate the public about a new quantum computer being developed by scientists at the university.

Showcasing this ground-breaking work being developed by Professor Winfried Hensinger and his team of physicists at the University, the installation has seen the public step into a virtual quantum computer prototype.

Located in such a prime position on a busy weekday, the installation has seen members of the public come and explore the installation.
