Michael Freedman, Microsoft Station Q – What is quantum computing and why will topology help?
Michael Freedman, Microsoft Station Q What is quantum computing and why will topology help? Friday, September 16, 2011 1 pm Simons Center Main Auditorium Abstract: We are learning how to move information processing from the classical to the quantum realm. To complete this transition we will need a way to do certain operations with unprecedented […]
