Simulations of nature and physics are a potential application of quantum computing. Ella and Alex take us through how using quantum techniques could supersede classical options.

Dr Eleanor Crane is a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in Quantum Computing in the Department of Physics at King’s College London. Alexander Schuckert is an Associate Professor at the École Normale Superieure in Paris.

Computerphile is supported by Jane Street. Learn more about them (and exciting career opportunities) at: https://jane-st.co/computerphile
