Andy Yao visited Brown this week.
He gave a talk about quantum computing, ending with a slide on "What makes great science". His answer was poetic; he apologized for being a romantic, then said: we are learning the language of atoms. Once we understand their language, we will whisper a computational problem into their ear (?), and watch them do an elegant dance to perform the computation. After a few minutes the answer will appear.
