SUMMARY:A Quantum Future of Computation
DESCRIPTION:Matthias Troyer (Microsoft Corporation)\n\nStill in early deve
 lopment, quantum computing is already overturning our contemporary notions
  of computational methods and devices. Using new concepts of computing bas
 ed in quantum physics, quantum computers will be able to solve certain pro
 blems that are completely intractable on any imaginable classical computer
 , such as accurate simulations of molecules and materials, or breaking pub
 lic key encryption. While this potential is real, quantum computers are be
 st viewed as special purpose accelerators for specific problem classes, bu
 t they also have their limitations. Attempting to bring clarity to the fas
 t growing field of quantum computing, I will describe the hardware and sof
 tware architecture of quantum computers and discuss how they differ from c
 onventional classical high performance computers. Based on this, I will at
 tempt to dispel myths and hype surrounding the field and present a realist
 ic assessment of the potential of these devices, and the specific applicat
 ion areas on which they are expected to have a large impact.\n\nRegistrati
