Meditations on Quantum Computing 2015 - Jack J.
Woehr Prof.
William Daniel
Phillips (Nobel Physics Laureate, 1997) once said, "The chances of building
a quantum computer are 50-50: and by that I mean a 50% chance in 50 years." Now
major stakeholders are saying it will take 10 years for generalized working
hardware. Jack will talk about who is putting their money down, why, and what
they're getting for it so far. |
