Feynman gave\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eto students at Caltech from 1983 to 1986 was not on physics but on computer\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003escience. The first edition of the \u003ci\u003eFeynman Lectures on Computation\u003c\/i\u003e, published\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ein 1996, provided an overview of standard and not-so-standard topics in\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ecomputer science given in Feynmanâs inimitable style. Although now\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eover 20 years old, most of the material is still relevant and interesting, and\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeynmanâs unique philosophy of learning and discovery shines through.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor this new edition, Tony Hey has updated the lectures with an invited\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003echapter from Professor John Preskill on âœQuantum Computing 40 Years\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLaterâ. This contribution captures the progress made toward building a\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003equantum computer since Feynmanâs original suggestions in 1981.
