Welcome to the QW ("Q-Dub"): Quantum Computing Theory Group at UW.

A quantum computer is a device which computes explicitly using the laws of quantum physics in contrast to today's modern computers which behave classically. Building such a computer offers the potential to drastically alter which algorithmic problems take a long time to compute, and which can be computed efficiently. Most famously, a large enough quantum computer could efficiently factor numbers, and hence break numerous widely used cryptography schemes. While only small scale quantum computers have been built, a worldwide community of researchers is attempting to build larger quantum computers, and is exploring the consequences of viewing computing and information processing through the lens of quantum theory. Our group studies all aspects of the quantum computing from ideas about how to build a quantum computer, to the quantum algorithms which will run on these future quantum computers. In addition we are interested in everything and anything that lies between the boundary of computer science and physics.
