How do you build a quantum computer? | Jonathan Home

Even the largest supercomputers can’t do some exceptionally huge tasks -- like breaking cryptography or modeling complex weather systems -- but someday, quantum computers will. That’s because a quantum computer is able to compute much larger pieces of information, much more quickly. In this sharp talk, Jonathan Home takes us through the process of theoretically building a quantum computer and how to think about the future of computing with (almost) no limits.
