A Modern History of Materials: Certain About Uncertainty

[One hundred years ago the physics that would be necessary to understand how quantum computers work, much less how to build them, did not exist. In the early 1920s electrons were viewed as tiny negatively charged particles—microscopically small spheres—with energies and locations within an atom that were well defined. In Niels Bohr’s Nobel-prize-winning atomic model, electrons moved in orbits around the nucleus with their energy and position both known with, to many scientists, reassuring certainty. Quantum computers rely for their operation on the uncertainty, the “weirdness”, that happens on the atomic scale and below. ]
