🔬 Denmark is building the world’s most powerful quantum computer! 🇩🇰 Backed by the Novo Nordisk Foundation and Denmark’s Export & Investment Fund, the €80M project “QuNorth” is set to revolutionize drug discovery, materials science, and more. With support from Microsoft and Atom Computing, this quantum leap could change everything. The quantum computer, named Magne, is expected to go live by next year with 50 logical qubits — unlocking a new era of science. 🧠 Quantum computing regular computing.

00:00Denmark aims to host world's most powerful quantum computer, the Novo Nordisk Foundation, and Denmark state-owned.
00:09Credit funds said on Thursday they will invest in what they say will be the world's most powerful quantum computer,
00:15aiming to revolutionize areas such as drug discovery and material science.
00:20Quantum computing holds the promise of carrying out calculations that would take today's systems millions of years
00:28and could unlock discoveries in medicine, chemistry and many other fields where near-infinite seas of possible combinations of molecules can found classical computers.
00:39The Novo Nordisk Foundation, the non-profit which controls pharmaceutical giant Novo Nordisk and Denmark's Export and Investment Fund said in a statement
00:50they would invest 80 million euros, 92.93 million dollars, in the initiative called Kunorth Microsoft,
00:58which has its largest quantum lab in Denmark, and provides software and atom computing will build the quantum computer.
01:05The computer will be named Magna, inspired by Norse mythology where Magna, the son of Thor, is known for his immense strength.
01:12Construction will begin in autumn and the computer is expected to be ready by the end.
01:17Of next year, the quantum computer will start operating with 50 logical qubits.
01:24Jason Zander, Microsoft's Executive Vice President told Reuters,
01:28A qubit, short for quantum bit, is the basic unit of information in a quantum computer,
01:34and a logical qubit is a virtual qubit, built from many physical qubits to reliably process quantum information.
01:42Last November, Microsoft and Atom created 24 logical qubits, the highest number ever created,
01:51when we get to about 50 logical qubits.
01:54That's when we start hitting true quantum advantage, Zander said.
01:58I get to the point where I can run something on a quantum computer that I could not run on a classic computer.
02:05When the machine gets up to 100 logical qubits, we can start doing science problems,
02:11get up to a couple 100s, we can start doing some chemistry, and starting to answer things.
02:17And then when all the way up to 1000, now you are solving everything, Zander said.
