Big Meetup: How will Quantum impact Business and Society?
Coming November 3rd, Quantum.Amsterdam and the Centre for Quantum & Society have jointly organized the next Big Meetup.
Video released: This is the Quantum Software Consortium.
The Quantum Software Consortium is building a new research community in the Netherlands in Quantum Information Science. But what is Quantum Information Science? You perhaps heard of the quantum computer. A computer that fundamentally uses different physics laws than a classical computer does. But like a classical computer, also a quantum computer uses software – […]
