Part 9: Why we need error correction

For serious quantum computing, we need to dramatically reduce the likelihood of error of each elementary step – not just a little bit, but by a factor of millions. With several recent breakthrough, this is the right time to understand the importance of error correction.

Part 4: The applications of quantum networks

If we’re building computers that deal with qubits, superposition and entanglement, wouldn’t these computers also need some way to send qubits to each other? This is the dream of the quantum internet: a network that exchanges quantum-mechanical photons between devices all around the world, parallel to our well-known ‘classical’ internet.

Part 8: The impact on cybersecurity

Anyone who wants to understand the impact of quantum computers, will need to know their basics of cryptography. So let’s start at the beginning.

Introduction to Quantum Computing grants unique insights to decision makers

On 28 and 29 November, in collaboration with the Amsterdam Business School (ABS), we will host a unique masterclass to acquaint decision makers with the world of quantum technology. The program “Introduction to Quantum Computing” is aimed specifically at professionals who need to look ahead to disruptive changes in IT, such as managers, senior IT […]
