07/10/24 • 17 min

What is quantum computing? How will it simplify our lives, and increase our productivity? What challenges does it face? Is quantum computing ever going to enter our everyday lives, replacing parts of our laptops and smartphones for quicker computations?

And the century's mystery: Is Schrödinger’s cat dead or alive?

We ask all these questions to two experts in quantum computing. Stephanie Wehner is a professor at Delft University of Technology and the director of the Quantum Internet Alliance. Mathias Van Den Bosch works at Thales Alenia Space.

A day with advanced quantum computing

When Emma Müller, a 44-year-old German woman, wakes up each morning, she already has a detailed plan for her health status, dietary suggestions, and exercise recommendations to optimise her day. She works only three days a week thanks to her high productivity levels.

This could be the routine of an average European with advanced quantum computing. When? We spoke with experts on the continent.

Concordia

Dr. Jessica Studer has spent the last 3 months without seeing daylight. She is spending one year in one of Earth's most extreme places: Antarctica, at Concordia Station.

Her research will help us better understand how humans adapt to hostile environments and how isolation impacts their health and well-being. Additionally, it will shed light on what astronauts experience while traveling in space.
