W43: Thirty Years of Quantum Computing since Shor's Algorithm

Thu. March 7, 4:48 p.m. – 5:24 p.m. CST

Auditorium 1

I will discuss Peter Shor’s major discoveries in the 1990s (superpolynomial quantum speedups, quantum error correction, and fault-tolerant quantum computation), and some of the ways these developments have enriched our understanding of the physical world.
