Getting to Know: Student excels in quantum computing

Darian Tyan, a senior at Minot North High school, has spent more than 100 hours on a quantum computing project through a school program that allows students to work with a college professor on a chosen science, technology, engineering and math topic. Tyan chose to work with Dr. Nigel George, a physics professor at Minot State University. Together, George and Tyan worked on a poster explaining the difference between quantum and classical computing. The project completed by Tyan used Grover's algorithm, an algorithm meant to help narrow down possibilities to the correct answer, to teach
