Abstract:
Ever since Richard Feynman proposed “simulating physics with quantum computers” in 1982, people have been continuing to search for fast quantum algorithms for physical systems and a lot of progress has been made. In this talk, we take an overlook through the development of quantum computers in the last thirty years, as well as their applications to physics.
