Quantum Computers for Beginners
How does a quantum computer work? What will we be able to do with it?
When we look at matter on the atomic scale or smaller, particles do not behave the way we are used to from everyday life. Quantum physics shows, for example, that a particle can, in a sense, pass through two doors at the same time. This phenomenon, known as superposition, is exploited by quantum computers.
While classical computers work with zeros and ones (bits), quantum computers use qubits, which—until they are measured—exist in a superposition of 0 and 1.
In this workshop, participants learn more about the fascinating world of quantum physics and how it can be used for new technologies. The workshop also includes a hands-on station, where participants can experience first-hand how fundamentally different a quantum computer is compared to everyday computers.
