Special thanks

This magazine is the result of a joint effort of the Vision Team Quantum Computing and all the experts with whom we have spoken to understand what quantum computer is about and explore what impact it can have on science, industry and society.

The vision team was installed by the Executive Board of TU Delft. We want to thank Tim van der Hagen, Rector Magnificus and President of the Executive Board, for his invitation to explore the impact of quantum computing. And we want to thank all experts for their contributions.

The work of the vision team was disrupted by the covid-19 pandemic. Early 2020 the TU Delft had to redesign within weeks its core activities of education and research, and all planned meetings with experts transformed from visits to the TU Delft campus to “distant” online meetings. We are impressed by the joint effort and shared commitment to continue under these challenging conditions.

A special mention goes to the students who participated in the vision team: Caiseal Beardow, Kamiel Dankers, Merel Schalkers, Brennan Undseth and Timo van Abswoude. Their researching, writing and designing forms the core of this magazine. Also we thank Noor Smit for creating this webversion of the magazine.
