Quantum computation
is a new paradigm in
which computational
work obeys different scaling laws than those that are known to hold in present day
“classical” computers.

On closer examination, we can leave the topological charges fixed and simulate braiding by measuring tunneling currents
with “interferometers.”

What will a quantum computer do?
“Everything that will ever be possible.”
This very bold answer is supported by the belief that the underlying
physics of our universe is quantum mechanical and once we leave
behind our classical 0’s and 1’s and harness QM, physics will permit nothing further.
