Physics…DISRUPTED! Going off the map with quantum computing
Manage episode 417403646 series 3573443
Since 1965, Moore’s law has explained the exponential increase in computing power, with the number of circuits on a circuit board doubling every 12 months and the price of that computing power decreasing by half. But Moore’s law relies on our understanding of physics, and eventually the laws of physics will prevail. We have been anticipating the end of Moore’s law since it hit age 50 just 7 years ago. So what’s next? Enter the laws of quantum physics, which change the game entirely! Join Dr. Tamara Schwartz as she talks with cybersecurity major Ty Foster about the emergence of quantum computing, which makes today’s supercomputers seem almost quaint by comparison.
