SUMMARY:Physics-Based Approaches to Quantum Computing
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Edward Farhi\, MIT\nHosted by: So-Young Pi\nPoster: h
	ttp://physics.bu.edu/posters/2013_Fall/1029_Farhi.pdf\n\nPart of the Physic
	s Department Colloquia Series.\n\nAbstract:\nA quantum computer uses quantu
	m law for its logic base instead of binary arithmetic.   We know that for c
	ertain tasks\, a perfectly functioning quantum computer\, running a quantum
	 algorithm\, could outperform any classical computer.  I will show\, using 
	examples\, how ideas from physics can be used in the design of quantum algo
	rithms. Some of these ideas also have implications for the hardware design 
	of quantum computers.
