Scott Aaronson on Computational Complexity Theory and Quantum Computers

Scott Aaronson - https://www.scottaaronson.com/ - is the David J. Bruton Centennial Professor of Computer Science at The University of Texas at Austin, and director of its Quantum Information Center. Before teaching at UT, he taught Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at MIT. His research interests center around the capabilities and limits of quantum computers, and computational complexity theory more generally.
