What type of computer has the potential to solve some of the world’s most complex problems in seconds instead of billions of years? Quantum computers are super computers that have the potential to solve some of the world’s most complex problems. In this episode, I chat with Jessica Pointing a PhD student in Physics at the University of Oxford specializing in quantum computing about the fundamentals of this new and exciting technology.
What you will learn:
• What is Quantum Computing (QC) and how it works
• Real-world problems that QC can potentially help solve
• Pros and cons of QC?
• Skills needed to thrive in this field
• The need for diversity in QC
