What Even Is A Quantum Computer?

in 2019, Google's sycamore quantum processor was able to solve a complex problem in just over 3 minutes, that would've taken IBM's summit, the fastest supercomputer at the time, over 10,000 years of continuous compute time to solve. There was one problem though. The problem they solved? Completely. Useless.

Join me in understanding the progress in the field of quantum computing that has gotten us to this point. How quantum computers have evolved from theory to experiment, and from single to many qubits.
