Quantum computers could eventually outstrip the computational limits of classical computers. They rely on the behavior of atomic and subatomic particles, whose quantum states are incredibly fragile and easily destroyed— which is why this technology remains largely theoretical. How would quantum computers work, and are they really possible? Chiara Decaroli investigates. [Directed by Artrake Studio, narrated by Christina Greer].

The high-stakes race to make quantum computers work

Quantum computers leverage qubits' ability to exist in multiple states, promising to transcend classical computing limits.

Harnessing quantum states, fragile yet powerful, demands intricate setups, making quantum computing a theoretical marvel.

With trapped ions and superconducting qubits at the forefront, quantum computing inches closer to reality, despite obstacles.
