Many scientists like to trace the start of nanoscience as a field of study back to “There’s Plenty of Room at the Bottom,” Richard Feynman’s address to the American Physical Society in 1959. Feynman envisioned building molecules and devices from the bottom up, much like putting together a Lego castle.

Quantum computing is based on quantum mechanics, which governs how nature works at the smallest scales. The smallest classical computing element is a bit, which can be either 0 or 1. The quantum equivalent is a qubit, which can also be 0 or 1 or in what’s called a superposition — any combination of 0 and 1.
