In just hours or days, a quantum computer can solve complex problems that would otherwise take billions of years for classical computing. This has massive implications for research in healthcare, energy, environmental systems, smart materials and more.
Crazy, right? While it may seem that way, Microsoft is working hard to make quantum computing into an everyday reality.
Check out Episode 6 of Microsoft’s Explanimators series to learn the fundamentals of quantum computing and imagine how it will affect the world around us.
Plus, the episode is narrated by a 19th Century Austrian cat. Yes, you read that correctly. Don’t worry, he’s not just any 19th Century Austrian cat. He’s Schrödinger’s Cat — the subject of a classic quantum mechanics thought experiment.
Watch the video and it’ll all make sense.
