Quantum computing review, including key concepts, recent developments from IBM, Intel, Google, Microsoft, D-Wave, Rigetti and other pioneers, and a discussion of the likely first commercial application of quantum molecular simulation. You can download a pdf sampler “Digital Genesis” book from this page: https://www.explainingcomputers.com/genesis.html And my ExplainingTheFuture “Cyborg Fusion” video is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2C2NgOhUwg The MolView molecular modelling data visualization platform can be found here: http://molview.org/ (not quantum, but cool!).
