Quantum Computing: A Tutorial Survey
Over the past several decades, from Richard Feynman's Simulating Physics with Computers to recent quantum science conferences. quantum computing has evolved to seek answers to the question: can we gain some advantage by processing, transmitting, and storing information encoded in systems that exhibit unique quantum attributes? We now know the answer is to this question is yes we can and probably should, as many global collaborations and various research groups have demonstrated. The endgame: building a quantum solution. Quantum computing could dramatically improve computational efficiency for particular tasks. A number of physical systems, spanning much of modern physics, are being developed for quantum computation. We will review the fundamentals and examine the various components being considered as part of quantum computing, including the QC venue at SC17.

Speakers
Randy Rannow of SILVERDRAFT SUPERCOMPUTING
Quantum Computing: A Tutorial Survey
Biography:
As an industrial physicist with a formal background in condensed matter physics, Randy has been inventing, scaling, and realizing new physical, mechanical, electrical, and architectural solutions for nearly 30 years, successfully executing on practical photonics, RF, algorithm, device physics, and mechanical designs. As a leader of various cross-functional teams, Randy has collaboratively realized solutions from invention to volume commercialization. As an individual contributor and global collaborator, Randy has designed and experimentally investigated technology from DC to greater than exahertz, femtowatts to megajoules, for high-performance to high-volume applications, and has more than 50 granted and pending patents.
