n n n IBM Quantum Computational Scientist
– Algorithm Application Engineer in Los Angeles , California n nn Introduction nn nnQuantum computers are incredibly powerful machines that take a new approach to processing information.
Built on the principles of quantum mechanics, they exploit complex and fascinating laws of nature that are always there, but usually remain hidden from view.
By harnessing such natural behavior, quantum computers can run new types of algorithms to process information more holistically.
They may one day lead to revolutionary breakthroughs in materials and drug discovery, the optimization of complex man-made systems, and artificial intelligence.
