  • Summary

  • Welcome to season 2 of fAQ! For this season, Tai-Danae and Adam will be focusing on a single topic: What is actually happening inside a quantum computer? By the end of this season, you'll have a better understanding of the "how" of quantum computing. So get ready to go beyond the theory and dig into what's actually going on these machines that harness the fundamental forces of the universe! In this fourth episode, we dig into DiVincenzo's fourth criterion for functional quantum computers: "A universal set of quantum gates". What is a "gate"? How is superposition an example? For that matter, what is superposition, functionally? And how can we get qubits into superposition inside a trapped-ion quantum computer? Come along for the exciting ride in this supersized episode!
