The Many Hidden Worlds of Quantum Mechanics — Season 1, Episode 11: How Entanglement Powers Quantum Computers
Documentary • 30 min • 1 season, 24 episodes • ★ 10.0/10
Episode synopsis
Many-Worlds theorist David Deutsch helped pioneer quantum computing, which he argues is an outgrowth on the Many-Worlds Interpretation. Investigate the principles behind quantum computing, comparing it to classical computing. Discover that the big difference is the architecture of logic gates. See how quantum computers can surmount this obstacle and excel at certain types of calculations.
