Quantum computer

Quantum computer. Superconducting magnet housing a liquid solution of a chemical that forms a 5-bit (or 5-qubit) quantum computer. The computer uses NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) techniques. The chemical was designed with its molecule having 5 linearly-coupled nuclear spins. These 5 spins (a magnetic quantum property) form the 5 bits of the quantum computer. The spins are manipulated using radio-frequency pulses and the effects monitored using this superconducting magnet. This quantum computer has been used to solve mathematical problems. The technology has been developed by Professor Steffen Glaser and his group at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), Germany

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a groundbreaking innovation in the realm of quantum computing. The image features a state-of-the-art quantum computer housed within a superconducting magnet, containing a liquid solution of a specially designed chemical. This chemical boasts five linearly-coupled nuclear spins, which serve as the fundamental building blocks or "bits" of this remarkable machine. Utilizing Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) techniques, this cutting-edge technology has been developed by Professor Steffen Glaser and his esteemed team at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), Germany. By manipulating these spins through radio-frequency pulses and monitoring their effects using the powerful superconducting magnet, this quantum computer has successfully tackled complex mathematical problems. The significance of this achievement lies in its potential to revolutionize computation as we know it. Quantum computers have long been hailed for their ability to perform calculations exponentially faster than classical computers, opening up new frontiers in fields such as cryptography, optimization, and drug discovery. While commercial applications are not mentioned here, it is clear that this breakthrough represents an exciting step forward in harnessing the power of quantum mechanics for practical use. As Europe continues to lead advancements in scientific research and technological innovation, this photograph serves as a testament to German expertise and ingenuity on the global stage.
