Quantum Computing & the Entanglement - John Preskill

John Preskill, the Richard Feynman Professor of Theoretical Physics at the California Institute of Technology presents a public lecture: Quantum Computing & the Entanglement Frontier. The 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 explains 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 science, and medicine. Preskill is less weird than a quantum computer, and easier to understand. Find out more about IQC!
