In this episode of TechTalks, we break down quantum computing from the basics to its real‑world potential. We explain concepts like superposition, entanglement and qubits, and how a quantum computer differs from a classical computer.
The conversation explores where quantum computing can create the biggest impact, from optimization and cybersecurity to pharmaceutical discovery and complex system modelling and why achieving quantum advantage could reshape entire industries. We also discuss the critical role of vacuum and cryogenic technologies in making quantum systems reliable and scalable, before looking ahead to the breakthroughs needed to turn today’s fragile machines into practical, error tolerant quantum computers.
We welcome expert guests Jos Donders, Andrew Chew and Hannah Vandenwijngaerden.
