The ultimate non-technical guide to the fast-developing world of
quantum computing Computer technology has improved exponentially
over the last 50 years. But the headroom for bigger and better
electronic solutions is running out. Our best hope is to engage the
power of quantum physics. 'Quantum algorithms' had already been
written long before hardware was built. These would enable, for
example, a quantum computer to exponentially speed up an
information search, or to crack the mathematical trick behind
internet security. However, making a quantum computer is incredibly
difficult. Despite hundreds of laboratories around the world
working on them, we are only just seeing them come close to
'supremacy' where they can outperform a traditional computer. In
this approachable introduction, Brian Clegg explains algorithms and
their quantum counterparts, explores the physical building blocks
and quantum weirdness necessary to make a quantum computer, and
uncovers the capabilities of the current generation of machines.
