Show Notes

Peggy Smedley and Scott Aaronson, chair of computer science, University of Texas, Austin, and director of Quantum Information Science Center, separate the science from the mythology of quantum. He says there has been a hope for decades that quantum computers would be useful beyond the two more common quantum tasks.

They also discuss:

· What limit the field still underestimates.

· How an organization should proceed—and if there is a roadmap to consider.

· How to educate students—and ultimately look forward.
