John Preskill discusses “What is Quantum Teleportation?” and more on Joy of Why Podcast

Quantum teleportation isn’t just science fiction; it’s entirely real and happening in laboratories today. But teleporting quantum particles and information is a far cry from beaming people through space. In some ways, it’s even more astonishing. John Preskill, a theoretical physicist at the California Institute of Technology, is one of the leading theoreticians of quantum computing [...]

Physicists Finally Find a Problem That Only Quantum Computers Can Do

Quanta magazine features recent work by John Preskill, Hsin-Yuan (Robert) Huang, IQIM graduate student Chi-Fang (Anthony) Chen, and DuBridge Postdoctoral Scholar Leo Zhou toward identifying a viable problem that confers a quantum advantage — something only a quantum computer can solve. Only then, scientists argue, will the technology be seen as essential. By studying the [...]
