Listen to a Podcast About Quantum Computing

Explore computers that harness quantum mechanics — qubits, superposition, entanglement, and the race to build machines that could crack encryption and simulate molecular reality.

Google claimed "quantum supremacy" in October 2019 when its 53-qubit Sycamore processor completed a specific calculation in 200 seconds that would take a classical supercomputer an estimated 10,000 years. Richard Feynman first proposed quantum computers in 1982, arguing that simulating quantum systems on classical computers was inherently inefficient and that a quantum machine was needed to model nature accurately. The biggest practical challenge is decoherence — qubits lose their quantum properties within microseconds due to environmental interference, requiring error correction schemes that currently demand roughly 1,000 physical qubits per logical qubit, making today's machines too noisy for most practical applications.
