What is quantum memory?

Quantum memory is designed to record, preserve and retrieve quantum states without destroying the properties that make quantum computing possible. Matt Finio explains how quantum memory differs from classical memory and explores concepts including qubits, superposition, decoherence, the no-cloning theorem and quantum error correction. The episode also examines solid-state systems, cold atoms, trapped ions and the role of memory in quantum networks, repeaters and a future quantum internet.
