The Bright Future of Quantum Computing

Paola Cappellaro PhD, an associate professor in the Department of Nuclear Science and Engineering (NSE), conducts a promising experiment with a diamond chip containing qubits, to find out how to address the errors in quantum computing.

While the technology is still in its infancy, a huge change can be expected in how computers tackle huge mathematical challenges, such as breaking cryptographic codes, and simulating intricate systems, such as complex chemical reactions.
