Quantum Computation: A Critical Overview
Marvin Kruger
(U. S. Department of Defense)
Abstract: Quantum computation is a
generalization of the classical models of computation invented by Turing and
others. By exploiting the complexity of entangled superpositional quantum
states, quantum computers have been shown to be capable, in principle, of
dramatic speed-up in the solution of certain, limited classes of otherwise
intractable problems. This talk will present an introductory overview of the
basic concepts, their history, implications, and potential for practical
realizability, as well as an appraisal of the current status of research in the
field.
