Terra incognita of the quantum dimension – The smiling Chess-board

Slide 1 von 9

The smiling Chess-board

Let's play around with bits on a chessboard. But be aware of the hidden dimensions!

00:00

A classic computer processes and stores digital data, based on electrical voltages and currents. Digital data can be symbolised by the numbers 0 and 1. As visualization, we have selected black and white fields (■□) on a chess board. In order to process digital data, arithmetical operations need to be carried out, such as the binary addition of numbers: 1 + 1 = 0.

What distinguishes the classic computer from a quantum computer? What significance does Alice and Bob’s experiment have in this respect? And why should secret services, state authorities and banks pursue the development of a quantum computer with a keen interest?

These are the questions that we pose at the last station of Line 1 in “Omega City”.
