Sommerfeld Lecture Series (ASC)Public Lecture: Quantum Computing and the Entanglement FrontierThe quantum laws governing atoms and other tiny objects seem to
defy common sense, and information encoded in quantum systems
has weird properties that baffle our feeble human minds. John
Preskill will explain why he loves quantum entanglement, the
elusive feature making quantum information fundamentally different
from information in the macroscopic world. By exploiting quantum
entanglement, quantum computers should be able to solve
otherwise intractable problems, with far-reaching applications to
cryptology, materials, and fundamental physical science. Preskill is
less weird than a quantum computer, and easier to understand.

Il symbolise une étape majeure dans le développement de l’informatique quantique, où les capacités des ordinateurs quantiques surpassent celles des ordinateurs traditionnels. Principes de l'informatique quantique : Contrairement aux ordinateurs classiques qui utilisent des bits (0 ou 1), les ordinateurs quantiques utilisent des qubits, capables d’exister simultanément dans plusieurs états (sup...
