What you need to know about... quantum

Ariana Torres-Knoop, advisor on quantum computing at SURF, explains 'quantum' to you.

Q-day has not yet arrived: the day quantum computing is available to the general public. But we should start working on it right now, so that we are not overwhelmed by it later. What makes a quantum computer different from an ordinary computer, what is a qubit, what are education and research institutes already doing on quantum (a lot!) and most importantly: what impact is it going to have? We discuss it with Ariana in this episode of SURF shorts.
