Chuang connects two demanding parts of quantum computing: controlling a physical experiment and determining what an ideal machine can calculate efficiently. His coauthored nuclear magnetic resonance experiment implemented a small instance of Shor’s algorithm. Later work with Guang Hao Low developed quantum signal processing for Hamiltonian simulation. Together these contributions give readers a route from early demonstrations to the algorithmic tools used to reason about more capable quantum processors.
