Aperçu
Quantum computing is here to stay, and it will change how people look at a wide variety of problems.
Recommendation
Quantum computing may seem an exotic technology that delivers far less than its considerable hype. But quantum computing is as profound a change to the world of computing as quantum theory was to that of classical physics. Much like quantum theory, it will remain alien and seemingly distant from people’s daily lives, but it will change the world in ways no one can yet imagine. Google has demonstrated that “qubits” and entanglement can work together to solve concrete problems, but no one is certain what this will mean. The article will fascinate anyone concerned with the future of computing.
