The first quantum computer was proposed by physicist Paul Benioff in 1981, and the first quantum algorithm was developed by mathematician Peter Shor in 1994. In 1998, IBM released the world’s first commercially available quantum computer. In 2001, a team of scientists at the University of Southern Californiabuilt the first working quantum computer.

The Turing Test
by chm

The Turing Test is a test of a machine's ability to exhibit intelligent behaviour indistinguishable from that of a human. Alan Turing, an English mathematician, computer scientist, and codebreaker, played a pivotal role in the development of computer science and proposed the Turing Test in 1948 as a way of determining whether a machine could truly be said to be intelligent. "The Imitation Game" is a 2014 film about Alan Turing and his work on cracking the Enigma code during World War II. "The Turk" was an 18th-century mechanical Turk chess-playing automaton that deceived many people into believing it was a true artificial intelligence.
