You don't need a PhD to enjoy learning about quantum computing. This is the proof. Johannes Pollanen, CTO of EeroQ, thinks on paper about quantum computing, electron spin qubits, and scaling the future of quantum technology.

EeroQ has its chips made in commercial semiconductor foundries, coats them in a thin layer of superfluid helium, and floats single electrons about 10 nanometres above the surface.

Without a PhD, you'll learn:

• Why quantum computers already exist, and why they aren't the machines we need yet
• Superconducting circuits, trapped ions, neutral atoms, silicon spins, photons and electrons on helium
• Why helium never freezes, and why Johannes calls it "the cleanest system" for electron qubits
• Why wiring together lots of dilution refrigerators sounds hard to a low-temperature physicist
• What nature's identical particles teach engineers

Please enjoy the show.
