Explaining Quantum Computing
By IQT News posted 04 Feb 2019
(TechnologyReview) Martin Giles of MIT’s Technology Review explains how quantum computing works, why it’s so powerful, and where it’s likely to be most useful first. This is an excellent overview of quantum computing, particularly for non-scientists who have heard about the technology and want to understand the basics. The “Explainer” addresses these topics:
–What is a qubit?
–What is superposition?
–What is entanglement?
–What is decoherence?
–What is quantum supremacy?
–Where is a quantum computer most likely to be useful first?
