Feynman, David Deustch and Quantum Computing (The Universal Quantum Computer)
Quantum System Evolution and Feynman
Trying to simulate a Quantum System on a classical Turing Machine is not possible (see Feynman’s Papers below).
Enter David Deustch
Deutsch proposed the first design for a computer that operated quantum mechanically. The building block circuits were all designed as quantum circuits.
