| Quantum computing: A tech race Europe could win? |

| [BBC] Physicists used to doubt it was possible to leverage the weird behaviour of particles in the quantum. They don't anymore. Now we know they work, and in a few years we will have reliable quantum computers that we can hook up to High Performance Computers (HPCs) in data centres to exponentially increase their computing power," says Peronnin. "It's not about being faster. It's about being so dramatically faster that you change what is feasible. We will be able to solve problems that are absolutely intractable with classical computers," he says. For example? "It will make medicine an exact science." He is only half joking. "At the moment, the development of new medicines is largely a question of trial and error." |
