Quantum Computing: Progress and Prospects

by Computer Science and Telecommunications Board, National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine, Division on Engineering and Physical Sciences, et al.

Quantum mechanics, the subfield of physics that describes the behavior of very small (quantum) particles, provides the basis for a new paradigm of computing. First proposed in the 1980s as a way to improve computational modeling of quantum systems, the field of quantum computing has recently garnered significant attention due to progress in building small-scale devices. However, significant technical advances will be required before a large-scale,...
