While we have yet to build a large-scale quantum computer, we can prove that such devices would have an advantage over standard computers for some problems. However, there are still many tasks for which we don&#8217;t have a good understanding of the performance of quantum computers. For example, how well can a quantum computer play chess? In this talk, I will describe a quantum algorithm for playing simple, two-player games.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-3799","physics_colloquium","type-physics_colloquium","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/physics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/physics_colloquium\/3799","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/physics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/physics_colloquium"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/physics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/physics_colloquium"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/physics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/physics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3799"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
