00:00Meet Jion, Germany's new quantum computer.
00:03It combines trapped ion-quantum technology with supercomputing,
00:08making its processing way faster than regular computers.
00:11You can imagine it like a labyrinth.
00:14If you search the best way,
00:16a classical computer runs all the way through
00:19and turns out which one was the best.
00:21A quantum computer runs all the way through
00:25and gets the result out which one was the best.
00:29But what could it mean for you?
00:31Well, from developing new medicines to smarter traffic,
00:35better materials and cleaner energy,
00:37quantum computers have the potential to change our lives.
00:56But quantum computers could threaten today's encryption,
01:00putting sensitive data at risk.
01:02Currently, the US and China are leading the global quantum race.
01:05And now with Jion, Germany is trying to catch up.
