Are quantum computers really the revolution they’re being touted to be, or is the promise of exponential speedup overblown? Join pioneers Seth Lloyd and Brian Greene as they discuss how the fundamentals of quantum mechanics are being exploited by quantum computers and the algorithmic challenges of achieving the promised exponential power.
