Episode notes
Quantum Computing: A New Paradigm
- Quantum computing is a different technology, not just a faster computer.
- It uses different physics laws governing particles like electrons.
Quantum Bits: Expanding Possibilities
- Quantum computers use quantum bits (qubits) which can be 0, 1, or both.
- This allows for different manipulations than classical bits.
Early Quantum Computing Applications
- Lockheed Martin used a D-Wave quantum annealing machine to debug F-16 code.
- IBM, Google, and others are developing quantum computers.
