Exploring the Potential of Quantum Computing: A Conversation with Professor John Preskill
11:34 - 22:34 (11:00)
Professor John Preskill explains the limitations of quantum computing and how it operates by carrying out quantum operations through a quantum mechanical system. He also discusses the similarities in the physics of large quantum computers and large quantum black holes.
