Dr Dominik Hahn explains how a quantum computer is built, discusses how quantum operations are programmed in a way similar to classical computing, and showcases examples of quantum programs running on superconducting devices.

Quantum computers have the potential to solve certain problems much faster than classical computers, including simulating quantum systems and optimizing complex processes. In this talk, I will explain how a quantum computer is built, using superconducting quantum processors as an example. I will discuss how quantum operations are programmed in a way similar to classical computing, and how these instructions are executed on real hardware. Finally, I will showcase practical examples of quantum programs running on superconducting devices, illustrating how theory translates into real-world computation.
