03 Generieke detail

A quantum computer can be compared to a ‘classical’ computer, but it has the ability to solve certain problems much faster than classical computers. The reason for this increase in speed is the fact that quantum computers use different building blocks, called qubits, while classical computers work with ordinary bits.

Quantum computers have the potential to revolutionize many sectors, for example in the field of drug development. Many different approaches exist to realize the building blocks in quantum computers, for example superconducting qubits, silicon spin qubits, topological qubits, ions / atoms in a trap, diamond-spin qubits and single photons:
