Key findings
- 1985
The universal quantum computer
David Deutsch
Defined the quantum Turing machine and argued a quantum device can simulate any physical system efficiently.
Why it matters here · The theoretical licence for every machine in the Quantum segment.
- 2014
VGGNet — depth with 3×3 convolutions
Karen Simonyan and Andrew Zisserman
Showed that stacking small uniform filters to 16–19 layers beat wider, shallower designs.
Why it matters here · Made architectural depth the default lever, and VGG features are still a standard perceptual loss.
- 2014
Superintelligence
Nick Bostrom, Future of Humanity Institute
Formalised the alignment and control problem for systems that exceed human capability.
Why it matters here · Directly shaped the safety teams, evaluations and policy commitments that frontier labs in this catalog now publish.
