Big picture

Time period Development summary
Stephen Wiesner invents conjugate coding.
1995 Christopher Monroe and David Wineland at NIST (Boulder, Colorado) experimentally realize the first quantum logic gate – the controlled-NOT gate – with trapped ions, following the Cirac-Zoller proposal. [1]
2012 John Preskill coins the term "quantum supremacy" to describe the point where quantum computers can do things that classical computers can’t.[2]
2019-08 Google uses a device with 53 qubits to solve a carefully chosen problem in 3 minutes 20 seconds, which took 2.5 days to solve with a classical computer.[2]
