Abstract
Universal computing can be dated to 1903 when Alan Turing’s theoretical model of the Turing machine led a large-scale innovative revolution towards digital computing machines.¹ The next milestone is to process and control information at its fundamental level — quantum states of particles. Richard Feynman first pointed out that as certain types of computational problems get more complex, classical bits fail to give efficient answers.² For example, when simulating quantum mechanics, the amount of memory needed to describe a quantum system increases exponentially with the number of its components. A new device — a quantum computer — is therefore highly sought after by physicists.³
