Quantum Computing @ MIT: The Past, Present, and Future of the Second Revolution in Computing
@article{Vasconcelos2020QuantumC, title={Quantum Computing @ MIT: The Past, Present, and Future of the Second Revolution in Computing}, author={F. Vasconcelos}, journal={arXiv: Popular Physics}, year={2020} }
This article provides an overview of the history, theoretical basis, and different implementations of quantum computers. In Fall 2018, four MIT faculty -- Isaac Chuang, Dirk Englund, Aram Harrow, and William Oliver -- at the forefront of quantum computation and information research were interviewed. They provided personal perspectives on the development of the field, as well as insight to its near-term trajectory. There has been a lot of recent media hype surrounding quantum computation, so in…

By harnessing such natural behavior (of qubits), quantum computing can run new, complex algorithms to process information more holistically and may one day lead to revolutionary breakthroughs in materials and drug discovery, the optimization of complex manmade systems, and artificial intelligence.
Quantum supremacy using a programmable superconducting processor
- Physics, Computer ScienceNature
