How to Program a Quantum Computer (sort of)

Tom Scott explains the basics of quantum computing and how to use a quantum computer simulator.

This isn't going to give you all the details of how to program a quantum computer: but it'll at least explain what you're doing in the simulator! Play here: bristol.ac.uk/physics/research/quantum/outreach/qcloud/simul… -- I don't understand it, but then I don't have a qualification in quantum physics! Thanks to Jacques Carolan, and all the team at Bristol University's Centre for Quantum Photonics -- and thanks to Tom Morris for holding the camera! And if you don't know about the double slit experiment, and wave-particle duality, there's a lovely explanation from Jim Al-Khalili at the Royal Institution here: youtu.be/A9tKncAdlHQ Tom's site: tomscott.com @tomscott: twitter.com/tomscott
