- Abstract: Forty years ago, Richard Feynman proposed harnessing quantum physics to build
a more powerful kind of computer. Realizing Feynman's vision is one of the
grand challenges facing 21st century science and technology. In this article,
we'll recall Feynman's contribution that launched the quest for a quantum
computer, and assess where the field stands 40 years later.

I present my recollections of Richard Feynman's interest in artificial intelligence and neural networks.
I attempt to evaluate his ideas in the light of the substantial advances in the field since then.
There are aspects of Feynman's interests that I think have been largely achieved and others that remain excitingly open.

The idea to use quantum mechanical devices to simulate other quantum systems is commonly ascribed to Feynman.
It may be prudent to assume exponential speedups are not generically available for this problem.
