Episode Synopsis "Quantum Computing"

Quantum computation could hold the key to being able to simulate matter exactly. This week we have an extended interview with Professor Alán Aspuru-Guzik, from Harvard University, to find out what a quantum computer is, how it works and how it can be used in chemistry.
