History

Historical Context

The convergence of quantum mechanics and computer science began in the 1980s, with pivotal developments like Paul Benioff's quantum Turing machine in 1980 and Shor's algorithm in 1994. By 2019, the U.S. government invested $1.2 billion in quantum research, while Google claimed quantum supremacy with its 54-qubit Sycamore processor, marking a significant milestone in the race for advanced computing technologies.
