Timeline of quantum computing and communication GudangMovies21 Rebahinxxi LK21
This is a timeline of quantum computing. Each time shown is either less approximately or more approximately corresponding to the time of the event. In some cases the date corresponds either to the date a publication was first received at the publisher or the publication date.
1960s
= 1968
=Stephen Wiesner invents conjugate coding
= 1969
=13 June – James L. Park (Washington State University, Pullman)'s paper is received by Foundations of Physics in which he describes the non possibility of disturbance in a quantum transition state in the context of a disproof of quantum jumps in the concept of the atom described by Bohr.
1970s
= 1973
=Alexander Holevo publishes a paper showing that n qubits can carry more than n classical bits of information, but at most n classical bits are accessible (a result known as "Holevo's theorem" or "Holevo's bound").
Charles H. Bennett shows that computation can be done reversibly.
= 1975
=R. P. Poplavskii publishes "Thermodynamical models of information processing" (in Russian) which shows the computational infeasibility of simulating quantum systems on classical computers, due to the superposition principle.
Roman Stanisław Ingarden, a Polish mathematical physicist, submits the paper "Quantum Information Theory" in Reports on Mathematical Physics, vol. 10, pp. 43–72, published 1976. It is one of the first attempts at creating a quantum information theory, showing that Shannon information theory cannot directly be generalized to the quantum case, but rather that it is possible to construct a quantum information theory, which is a generalization of Shannon's theory, within the formalism of a generalized quantum mechanics of open systems and a generalized concept of observables (the so-called semi-observables).
1980s
= 1980
=Paul Benioff describes the first quantum mechanical model of a computer. In this work, Benioff showed that a computer could operate under the laws of quantum mechanics by describing a Schrödinger equation description of Turing machines, laying a foundation for further work in quantum computing. The paper was submitted in June 1979 and published in April 1980.
Yuri Manin briefly motivates the idea of quantum computing.
Tommaso Toffoli introduces the reversible Toffoli gate, which (together with initialized ancilla bits) is functionally complete for reversible classical computation.
= 1981
=At the first Conference on the Physics of Computation, held at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in May, Paul Benioff and Richard Feynman give talks on quantum computing. Benioff's talk built on his earlier 1980 work showing that a computer can operate under the laws of quantum mechanics. The talk was titled "Quantum mechanical Hamiltonian models of discrete processes that erase their own histories: application to Turing machines". In Feynman's talk, he observed that it appeared to be impossible to efficiently simulate an evolution of a quantum system on a classical computer, and he proposed a basic model for a quantum computer.

Just as a Universal Turing machine can simulate any other Turing machine efficiently (Church–Turing thesis), so the universal quantum computer is able to simulate any other quantum computer with at most a polynomial slowdown.
Asher Peres points out the need for quantum error correction schemes and discusses a repetition code for amplitude errors.
= 1988

= 1989
=Gerard J. Milburn proposes a quantum-optical realization of a Fredkin gate.
Bikas Chakrabarti & collaborators from Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics, Kolkata, India, propose that quantum fluctuations could help explore rugged energy landscapes by escaping from local minima of glassy systems having tall but thin barriers by tunneling (instead of climbing over using thermal excitations), suggesting the effectiveness of quantum annealing over classical simulated annealing.
1990s

=Artur Ekert at the University of Oxford, proposes entanglement-based secure communication.
= 1992
=David Deutsch and Richard Jozsa propose a computational problem that can be solved efficiently with the deterministic Deutsch–Jozsa algorithm on a quantum computer, but for which no deterministic classical algorithm is possible. This was perhaps the earliest result in the computational complexity of quantum computers, proving that they were capable of performing some well-defined computation more efficiently than any classical computer.
Ethan Bernstein and Umesh Vazirani propose the Bernstein–Vazirani algorithm. It is a restricted version of the Deutsch–Jozsa algorithm where instead of distinguishing between two different classes of functions, it tries to learn a string encoded in a function. The Bernstein–Vazirani algorithm was designed to prove an oracle separation between complexity classes BQP and BPP.
Research groups at Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics (Garching) and shortly after at NIST (Boulder) experimentally realize the first crystallized strings of laser-cooled ions.

=Lov Grover, at Bell Labs, invents the quantum database search algorithm. The quadratic speedup is not as dramatic as the speedup for factoring, discrete logs, or physics simulations. However, the algorithm can be applied to a much wider variety of problems. Any problem that can be solved by random, brute-force search, may take advantage of this quadratic speedup in the number of search queries.

= 1999
=Samuel L. Braunstein and collaborators show that none of the bulk NMR experiments performed to date contain any entanglement; the quantum states being too strongly mixed. This is seen as evidence that NMR computers would likely not yield a benefit over classical computers. It remains an open question, however, whether entanglement is necessary for quantum computational speedup.
