QUANTUM COMPUTING

SPEEDING THINGS UP EXPONENTIALLY

…for security code breaking …for search algorithms

In 1993, two Bell Labs physicists (Shor and Grover) showed

Quantum computers are extremely fast…

BELL LABS IS A

WELL-RECOGNIZED LEADER

Our Bell Labs scientists are

the first to find a practical

approach for entanglement…
