Beyond Superconductors: Exploring Alternative Qubit Modalities in the Quantum Race What makes quantum mechanics so important? We can’t discern the true nature of reality with our eyes at the macroscopic level. But at its most basic level, everything is made up of tiny particles that follow the rules of quantum mechanics. Brilliant scientists from the 20th century came up with this groundbreaking discipline. Werner Heisenberg laid the groundwork, and Niels Bohr, the so-called “godfather” of quantum theory, pushed it forward.

There are a lot of investments in the field of #QuantumComputing, as highlighted in EE Times’ 25th revision of its #Silicon100.
