Abstract
Quantum computers have been shown to be capable of performing certain kinds of tasks exponentially faster than classical computers. As a result, an enormous amount of effort has gone into their development. Although advances have been made, the ultimate goal of a large-scale programmable, general-purpose quantum computer still seems to be a relatively long way off. Therefore it is useful to consider returning to Feynman's original motivation for discussing quantum computers: using simple quantum systems to simulate the behavior of more complicated physical systems.
