Quantum Computing 101: Foundations, Frontiers, and Future Impact
Will Oliver Henry Ellis Warren (1894) Professor, MIT Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Associate Director, Research Laboratory of Electronics Professor, Department of Physics Laboratory Fellow Emeritus, Lincoln Laboratory Director, Center for Quantum Engineering
Quantum computers are fundamentally different than conventional computers. They promise to address certain problems that are practically prohibitive and even impossible to solve using today’s supercomputers. The challenge is building one that is large enough to be useful. In this talk, we will provide an overview of contemporary quantum computing at an intuitive level, including the technology, the promise, the hype, and the challenges ahead associated with realizing useful quantum computers at scale.
