The video below is a very succinct, easy to understand explanation of quantum computing by physicist Shohina Ghose:
We really liked her clear articulation of what is different about quantum computing.
A quantum computer isn’t just a more powerful version of the computers we use today; it’s something else entirely, based on emerging scientific understanding — and more than a bit of uncertainty. Enter the quantum wonderland with Shohini Ghose and learn how this technology holds the potential to transform medicine, create unbreakable encryption and even teleport information.
