Classical Problems to Make Quantum Computing a Reality

摘要

Recent experiments have shown exciting progress toward creating reliable quantum bits (qubits) that will make up tomorrow's quantum computers. While experiments and engineers continue to make the physical side a reality, computer scientists and software engineers will be essential to getting the most out of such expensive hardware. An entire stack of classical software must be developed, requiring creative solutions to a broad range of problems. We provide an introduction to quantum computing and an overview of the problems left to face in an effort to inspire more research in these important areas.
