Chiara Decaroli: The high-stakes race to make quantum computers work
2019 • E92 Aug 13, 2019 5m
Quantum computers could eventually outstrip the computational limits of classical computers. They rely on the behavior of atomic and subatomic particles, whose quantum states are incredibly fragile and easily destroyed— which is why this technology remains largely theoretical. How would quantum computers work, and are they really possible? Chiara Decaroli investigates. [Directed by Artrake Studio, narrated by Christina Greer].
