Applications of a Quantum Computer
After all this fuzz about a quantum computer, the question arises, what can we actually do with it? We have selected some of the promising applications of quantum computers and a quantum internet and introduce them in this video. In a few years, we will find out if we have made an adequate prediction for these applications and find out if we have missed important ones!
Further thinking
As we’ve seen, quantum computers do not try to replace classical computers, but to enlarge the variety of algorithms one could use. Can you think of any classical algorithms that could have a quantum counterpart?

Take a look at Quantum Algorithms section of this website, which gives a more in-depth description of several of these applications!
