Description: Yale's Steve Girvin is a pioneer of quantum computing, and our guide for our first foray into understanding how these systems do and don't work. Over the course of our conversation, we come to realize that quantum computers are not performing computations per se - they're more devices that an be used to answer a specific set of questions about reality.
