Quantum computing - Up to here and beyond - episode 2: From niche to commonplace
Quantum technology was once reserved for scientists and curious enthusiasts. Now it is making its way out of labs and attic rooms to a wider audience. In this 2nd episode, we talk about the current state of quantum computing.

What breakthroughs around quantum computing are coming? And what is the importance of playing? Evert van Nieuwenburg, computational physicist at Leiden University, talks more about it. Nicholas Renaud, quantum computing expert at SURF, also emphasises the forward momentum that comes from playfully 'messing around' with the first forms of quantum computing.
Nicholas talks about how quantum computing is viewed in education and research today and how it differs from a few years ago. Finally, he shares a viewing tip with the message 'Everyone can quantum'. The link to the video can be found here: Paul Rudd explores the Quantum Realm with Stephen Hawking
