Quantum Computing
William D. Oliver
Henry Ellis Warren (1894) Professor, MIT Electrical Engineering & Computer Science,
Professor of Physics
Director, Center for Quantum Engineering
Associate Director, Research Laboratory of ElectronicsQuantum 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.
