The Quantum Insider publishes a portrait of NCCR SPIN

On the road to Quantum Computers, a teaser by NCCR SPIN inspired the article published by James Dargan on The Quantum Insider The Ambitious Journey Of NCCR SPIN Towards Practical Quantum Computers chronicling the ambitious project of the NCCR:

“The goal of NCCR SPIN is ambitious yet clear — to make tangible progress towards practical quantum computers based on spin qubits in silicon. As the researchers explain, quantum computers harness the bizarre principles of quantum mechanics to perform calculations in an entirely new way compared to classical computers.

“A quantum computer is a revolutionary new method to do calculations based on the possibilities of quantum mechanics,” stated one researcher in a short film released by NCCR SPIN. The key lies in qubits, which unlike regular bits that can be only 0 or 1, can exist as a superposition of both states simultaneously — unlocking massive parallelism.

This quantum supremacy could revolutionize fields like materials simulation, pharmaceutical research, and even climate science by solving problems intractable for today’s conventional supercomputers.

“We have many more variables in the problems we need to solve, and this complexity can only be handled with very high-performance computers that don’t exist today,” explained another researcher.”

The film is now available online on Youtube.
