SUMMARY:A Quantum Future of Computation
DESCRIPTION:Invited Talk\nTech Program Reg Pass, Exhibits Reg Pass\n\nA Qu
 antum Future of Computation\n\nTroyer\n\nStill in early development, quant
 um computing is already overturning our contemporary notions of computatio
 nal methods and devices. Using new concepts of computing based in quantum 
 physics, quantum computers will be able to solve certain problems that are
  completely intractable on any imaginable classical computer, such as accu
 rate simulations of molecules and materials, or breaking public key encryp
 tion. While this potential is real, quantum computers are best viewed as s
 pecial purpose accelerators for specific problem classes, but they also ha
 ve their limitations. Attempting to bring clarity to the fast growing fiel
 d of quantum computing, I will describe the hardware and software architec
 ture of quantum computers and discuss how they differ from conventional cl
 assical high performance computers. Based on this, I will attempt to dispe
 l myths and hype surrounding the field and present a realistic assessment 
 of the potential of these devices, and the specific application areas on w
 hich they are expected to have a large impact.
