Eind januari lieten onderzoekers van het Delftse QuTech en Microsoft weten dat ze toch niet zeker waren dat ze majoranadeeltjes hadden waargenomen. Ze trokken hun Nature-publicatie hierover terug, een tegenslag voor de Delftse onderzoekers en Microsoft. Dat de toekomst van de quantumcomputer nu onzeker is, zoals Bert Wagendorp schreef in zijn column in de Volkskrant,... read more →

Quantum computers hold great promise, but to what extent can we trust the outcome of these elusive machines? In her PhD thesis, Yfke Dulek investigates ways to delegate computations to a quantum computer, focussing on the question how trustworthy the outcomes will be. Her research could pave the way for... read more →
