Optical Quantum Computers - Ep 5 - Rays and Waves

In this episode of Rays and Waves we speak about Linear Optical Quantum Computers.

There has been lots of talk about quantum computers in the science media lately. Both companies and academic labs are hard at work to build the sought-after fault-tolerant quantum computer.

As it turns out, one approach to building quantum computers is with optics. Join us as we explore the pros and cons with this light-based approach to quantum computers.
