Understanding Quantum Computing and What It Means for the Public Service
Quantum computers have the potential to revolutionize computing, calculating in minutes what a supercomputer would take more than 10,000 years to do.


Governments and investors are starting to notice quantum computers and their potential applications in cyber security, drug development, weather forecasting, and beyond. Yet how does quantum computing work, and why does it matter? How can non-experts understand the meaning of quantum computing and its potential applications and impacts for the public service?
