Quantum computing leverages the principles of quantum mechanics to process information in ways that classical computers cannot, using quantum bits (qubits) that can represent and manipulate data in multiple states simultaneously. This allows quantum computers to solve certain complex problems much faster than traditional computers, potentially revolutionizing fields like cryptography, optimization, and material science.
Today’s Brief Commentary: At the beginning of my talk at Quantum.Tech DC last week, I showed the above image as the bridge that quantum computing providers are trying to build and cross to give us Practical Quantum Advantage. I define…
