‘More optimistic about quantum technology’

‘More optimistic about quantum technology’

Intensive collaboration with chipmaker Intel and software giant Microsoft, rapid technological developments, and increased focus on quantum computer applications and quantum software. These developments have made Professor Lieven Vandersypen hopeful about the future of the quantum computer. “This progress makes me more optimistic than five years ago. I want to live up to the promises of quantum technology in which the Netherlands plays a pioneering role,” said Vandersypen in an interview in the ‘NRC Handelsblad’ newspaper. On 1 September he will become the Scientific Director of QuTech, a collaboration between Delft University of Technology and TNO.
