Quantum Computing

Listen Tuesday, Mar. 21, 2006 at 12:06 p.m. in Science, Tech Tuesday, Technology
Guest host: Matthew Felling

Some people find studying the history of the cosmos, and learning about quantum physics, a bit complicated and intimidating. But one expert -- a professor of quantum mechanical engineering at MIT -- says we'd all be able to understand the universe if we just think of it as 'one giant computer we can program.' Kojo gets to the bottom of that idea on Tech Tuesday.
