Quantum computing is an emerging technology with immense practical potential. Quantum computers are expected to be far faster and more powerful than current computers when it comes to solving complex problems, including drug design and medical treatments, strategies to reverse climate change, natural disaster prevention, and the enhancement of artificial intelligence, among many others. Their computational and analytical capabilities will open the door to applications that we cannot yet imagine, much as previous major technological revolutions have done.
But what exactly is this remarkable technology, and what are the principles behind it? In this talk, we will review the basic postulates of quantum physics that underpin this new form of computation. From there, we will describe how quantum computers work and discuss the current state of development, as well as future prospects.
