In the last episode before the Physics For Future conference, we had the privilege of speaking with Professor Peter Zoller, a renowned theoretical physicist from the University of Innsbruck. As we celebrate the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, Professor Zoller provided us with a comprehensive overview of the evolution and significance of quantum mechanics, as well as its practical applications in today's world.

One of the key topics discussed was the rise of quantum computing. Professor Zoller explained how quantum computers leverage superposition states, allowing them to perform multiple computations simultaneously. This capability sets them apart from classical computers, which operate sequentially. He highlighted the importance of quantum bits, or qubits, which can exist in multiple states at once, making quantum computers incredibly powerful for specific tasks.
