Classical Reversible Computing on Quantum Dots with Daniel Loss

Classical Reversible Computing on Quantum Dots with Daniel Loss14 sept49 min

What if the same hardware being built for quantum computers could also solve one of classical computing's most urgent problems — runaway energy consumption? In this episode, Sebastian talks with Daniel Loss, the theoretical physicist who co-proposed the spin-qubit quantum computer nearly thirty years ago, about his new idea: using coherent quantum dynamics in semiconductor spin qubits to perform classical reversible computation at energy efficiencies that could be five orders of magnitude better than today's best CMOS transistors. It's a provocation grounded in real experimental numbers, and it may de-risk the entire spin-qubit enterprise.
