Quantum computing is hot these days. Problem is, it's cold

Is quantum computing the next big thing or forever in the future? The answer lies in whether there's a practical way to make the crucial components for quantum computers. Now they require expensive, bulky and energy-intensive super-cooling, like to nearly absolute zero. Now a Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) program seeks a breakthrough in quantum computing science so it can work at warmer temperatures. For the particulars, Federal Drive Host Tom Temin spoke with DARPA Program Manager Dr. Mukund Vengalatorre. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
