Hosts Phi lBowermaster and Stephen Gordon review a recent essay by Peter Diamandis, Massive Disruption Is Coming With Quantum Computing, in which the noted futurist outlines the the amazing possibilities that quantum computing represents.

Machine Learning: Much of machine learning is about “pattern recognition.” Algorithms crunch large datasets to find signals in the noise, and the goal is to maximize the number of comparisons you make between data to find the best models to describe that data. 

Medicine: Quantum computing will also allow us to model complex molecular interactions at an atomic level. This will be particularly important for medical research and drug discovery. 

Chemistry (and Climate Change): Worried about the climate crisis? Wondering what we can do about it? Quantum computers may be our newest tool to understand what is going on and to fight it. 

Material Science & Engineering: ...we’ll explore and invent entirely new, better materials. We might find better superconductors, better magnets, materials that will allow us to create much higher energy density batteries, and so on. 

Biomimetics, Energy Systems & Photovoltaics: Scientists believe that much of the world is built atop quantum systems.
