A brief history of Quantum
The quantum revolution is coming, and it’s taken some big leaps of thinking from some of the biggest minds of the 20th century to get us to this point
Imagine the world as we understand it, is just the tip of the iceberg. Underneath that iceberg, at the atomic level and smaller, is the quantum world.
It’s a facet of physics Albert Einstein described as “spooky”. Now, as we’re entering the quantum age, with the University of Melbourne as a founding member of the IBM Q Network, Australia is getting quantum ready.
