A future quantum computer will contain many hardware and software components. We can leverage of classical technology and construct a framework to layout a vision for a quantum computer. This video will explain the various layers that will make a quantum computer. First, Menno will introduce the qubit, the basic building block, and discuss how to go to many qubits. However, many qubits don’t make a quantum computer and in the second video, Menno will discuss all the elements that are required for a large-scale quantum computer.

Main takeaways

• Creating full working qubits is a huge scientific challenge.
• The five DiVincenzo criteria must be overcome to build a quantum computer.
