Scott Aaronson

Scott Joel Aaronson is an American theoretical computer scientist and Schlumberger Centennial Chair of Computer Science at the University of Texas at Austin. His primary areas of research are computational complexity theory and quantum computing.

Across 2 conversations, Scott Aaronson ranges across quantum supremacy, post-quantum cryptography, decoherence. Quantum supremacy was demonstrated by Google's quantum computer solving a sampling problem with 53 qubits, requiring classical verification of about nine quadrillion calculations. Quantum computing's potential to break current cryptographic systems hinges on scalable quantum computers, which require millions of qubits.
