Quantum Computing is an exciting new field that will transform the way computing is done. To do so however involves the development of a stable quantum bit – to develop one, researchers at Tsinghua University are looking at a number of different ways this might be possible, including Trapped Ions, Superconductors and Diamond. To create a quantum computer however will ultimately require collaboration between researchers in all these areas. A complex network of this sort requires excellent interdisciplinary work between different fields, as well as the theory behind these systems. In the same way, students from a range of fields are involved at all levels of this research, helping to pave the way for the future of computing.
