The Quantum Leap: Charting the Future of Computing

Richard Feynman, the iconic physicist and one of the progenitors of quantum computing, famously said in 1981: “Nature isn’t classical, dammit, and if you want to make a simulation of nature, you’d better make it quantum mechanical. And by golly, it’s a wonderful problem, because it doesn’t look so easy.” More than forty years later, his words remain true, but we are making tremendous progress in realizing his vision.  For decades, conventional c…
