Carlo Beenakker explains quantum in de Ongelooflijke Podcast on NPOradio1
Are quantum computers the scientific breakthrough of our time? In this podcast, Carlo Beenakker, Professor of Physics at Leiden University, explains quantum technology.
Quantum computers are so powerful that they could turn the world upside down and solve complex problems – from developing medicines for currently incurable diseases to finding new solutions for climate change. In short, they promise a lot… and all of this is thanks to the mysterious quantum world, where everything works differently from what we’re used to.
Quantum is fascinating, but also complex. In this podcast, one of the Netherlands’ leading quantum scientists shares his insights: Carlo Beenakker. Beenakker is a professor at Leiden University and has won numerous scientific awards. Robbert Dijkgraaf called him one of the very best physicists in the country.
Listen to this podcast about faith, science, the ‘crazy’ world of quantum physics, and the great promises – but perhaps also the dangers – of this technology. (The podcast is in Dutch.)
