Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

2.2.1 From one quit to many quits

Course subject(s) Module 2: Diving deeper in the concepts of quantum computing and quantum internet

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.
