How to Explain Quantum Computing (and Robots) to a Kid
Sergio Solorzano
BY ANDREW MOSEMAN A powerful way to sharpen one’s communication skills is to explain something complicated—quantum computing and its potential to accelerate the field of robotics, for example—to a child. John Preskill, Richard P. Feynman Professor of Theoretical Physics and the Allen V. C. Davis and Lenabelle Davis Leadership Chair for Caltech’s Institute for Quantum Science and Technology, recently did just this on the YouTube channel The Quantum Kid , where a physics-loving 9-year-old engages
