Quantum Computing: Are we there yet? (36x111)

Data di messa in onda: Dic 29, 2019

(An introduction to quantum computing and a review of the progress we made in the last 5 years.) Five years ago I spoke about my work in quantum computing, building and running a tiny two qubit processor. A few weeks ago, Google announced a potentially groundbreaking result achieved with a 53 qubit quantum processor. I will therefore review the state of experimental quantum computing and discuss the progress we made in the last 5 years. I will explain quantum supremacy, surface code architecture and superconducting quantum processors and show which challenges we still have to overcome to build large scale quantum computers.
