In this episode of Science is here, host Barry Fitzgerald speaks with Servaas Kokkelmans, Associate Professor at Eindhoven University of Technology, about the history, technology, and future of quantum computers.

Servaas is involved in the development of quantum technologies at TU/e, and he works on methods to ultracool atoms to make qubits - the fundamental component of any quantum computer. By 2024, Servaas and TU/e researchers are aiming to build Eindhoven's very own hybrid quantum computer. Listen to this episode to hear about the technology behind quantum computers and his plans for a hybrid quantum computer.
