Abstract

While the formulation of quantum mechanics predates computability theory, the idea of computers based on quantum physics only arose much later, in the 1980s. Initially studied only by the curious and intrepid, quantum computation, and quantum information processing in general, came into the limelight in the 1990s. The impetus, namely, the discovery of rigorous evidence of the advantage offered by quantum computers, culminating in the Shor algorithm for Integer Factorization, is now well-known. Since then, the field has been guided by the promise of new technology while also allowing for the pursuit of ideas unfettered by practical (or even physical) considerations. I will describe some of the advances in the field in the wake of these developments.
