In today’s episode of Theories of Everything, Curt Jaimungal speaks to Maria Violaris for a gentle introduction to quantum computing, diving into quantum no-go theorems, Schrödinger’s cat, the nature of quantum entanglement, and how these concepts lay the foundation for the future of computational science.
