Bowl of Data - The History of Quantum Computing

From Feynman's napkin math to Google's Willow chip — the full history of quantum computing in one video.In 1981, Richard Feynman stood up at a conference and pointed out something inconvenient: nature isn't classical, so if you want to simulate it, you'd better build a computer that isn't classical either. Forty-five years later, that offhandchallenge has become a global race involving IBM, Google, Microsoft, national governments, and everyone who has ever worried about what happens to encryption when the machines finally work.This video traces the whole arc: the physics that made it thinkable, the algorithms that made it dangerous, the decades of engineering that made it real, and the error-correction milestones that decide whether any of it matters.ABOUT BOWL OF DATABowl of Data is a weekly digest of the tech stories that actually matter —AI & machine learning, cybersecurity, blockchain, and software engineering.Hundreds of sources, de-duplicated, ranked, and reviewed by a human beforeit ships.→ Read the archive: https://bowlofdata.net→ Subscribe on Substack: https://substack.com/@bowlofdata→ Everything we've covered on quantum: https://bowlofdata.net/tag/quantum-computing.html
