Lewis and Powell were invited to the facility \u2013 dedicated to the research of nuclear physics, as well as materials and accelerator science \u2013 by Natalie Klco, a professor at Duke University overseeing part of the boot camp meant to make quantum computing accessible. \u201cQuantum computing is this new, exciting endeavour, but people aren\u2019t sure how to use it,\u201d says Lewis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
