Why is <strong>NASA</strong> Interested in<br />
<strong>Quantum</strong> Computers?<br />
§� Harness quantum physical phenomena not<br />
available to conventional computers<br />
ú� E.g., superposition, interference, entanglement, non-‐<br />
locality, non-‐determinism, non-‐clonability<br />
§� Allows us to solve problems in new ways<br />
ú� E.g., can operate on all 2 n combinations of n bits<br />
simultaneously and extract a collective property of the<br />
result in the time it takes to do the same operation on<br />
just one of these n-‐bit strings classically<br />
ú� Most profound advance in computer science in 100 yrs
