Quantum computers, poised to transform industries from chemistry to cancer research, have yet to enter the mainstream market. However, this has not stopped the rise of a new generation of quantum software developers.
“Developing software for a quantum computer once demanded a PhD,” explains Lov Grover. He is especially familiar with this challenge, having created Grover’s algorithm in 1996, which facilitated database searches using quantum computing. At the time, no operational quantum computers existed to execute such programs, marking a pivotal moment in the evolution of quantum software development.
