New physics AI could be the key to a quantum computing revolution

Quantum computing is one of the most exciting technologies there is, but its basis in quantum physics makes it a pain in the ass to understand and even harder to do anything with. A recent breakthrough in physics research, however, might change all of that and start a computing revolution. It wouldn't be the first time this has happened. IBM's Thomas J Watson (the person the Watson AI was named after) famously said "I think there is a world market for maybe five computers," in 1943. That's probably because, at the time, a computer filled up an entire room. But, in 1971 that changed with the development of the world's first microprocessors.
