DiVincenzo, David P.

David P. DiVincenzo is a physicist known for his foundational work in quantum computing. He outlined five key criteria, often called the “DiVincenzo criteria,” which define what is needed to build a functional quantum computer. These include reliable qubits (quantum bits), the ability to manipulate and read them accurately, and maintaining their quantum state over time. His work helps guide researchers in developing practical quantum technologies, aiming to harness quantum mechanics to perform complex computations more efficiently than traditional computers.
