A super computer. I can live i, nobody knows what quantum computing really means. But it is going to change us to see a place for them to its champions. Quantum computers are a Pioneering Development and a game changer. If type of a quantum computer can open up an array of amazing possibilities. The scale of computer power enables us to solve problems that we are not yet even able to formulate formulated. Its many applications include, simulating all the tools a Ground Breaking advance and the development of new drugs. Quantum computing is still in its infancy, but is set to one day revolutionize scientific research. The what looks like a computer chip made of plastic is in fact a model of a human long scientist that us with start up our aiming to tackle diseases faster with the help of a supercomputer. Nina, hoping you found it. I was able to ex, together with you on extra k, their work one than the 2022 swift med tech award. The team here use a path to transfer human long cells to a thin porous membrane. The cells can then be activated mechanically, to mimic a, re along the coffee. Yes. So i wanted to see were able to simulate the cells by recreating the environment of the human body and the plastic chip for him and not be able to select them cheap and they want to smoke. Please not this minute enables us to simulate miniature organs that are far more similar to the real thing than any other options currently available. Also a little. So 2 thoughts be more similar then with in vitro testing or animal experiments, the researchers say the mach miniature alone will make it easier to design new drugs made to come on and things like the surface escape. The Drug Development process takes around 10 to 15 years on speed to begin with. You test a huge number of molecules and petri dishes, the solar, although theyre, the cells arent really liked they are on the human body months. There are no 3 d layers or forces of attraction, for example in so its a very basic setup. Now, you can danish, you later move on to animal experiments and conduct tests per se, toxic properties. All right. The entire process as extremely involved, especially when you think about the animal testing required. And this is where our Technology Comes in the 9. No, its hope the many a true long will enable researchers most notably at pharmaceutical companies to speed up the drug testing process. So here we have the entity in cells and then you have the bmc. So the news, so its really on top of your actually doing infecting. And so if i need to talk or you can determine far earlier whether a particular molecule is effective and whether there are side effects and it will. So humans enables you to optimize the process and ultimately lower cost, so that it by 500000000. 00 fonts for drug, according to studies or so maybe come on things that are already possible today could be done even faster and more efficiently with the technology. While also rendering animal experiments redundant, so you for you sort of feed much i can put on the companys aim is to help in the development of better medication and the reduction of side effects for patients in all literacy. We also want our technology to help reduce or eliminate animal testing hold. So these are c, animal experiments are simply not adequate predictors whether i drug actually works with humans today need for this august asked see if we can submit the come on to the most come to come to give me was my doctoral supervisor who originally got me interested in quantum computing thats open, im thinking and im still there today on the call back when i started studying physics at 0 Technical University. Nobody was talking about it. Id never heard of it. Dominics in booley as a researcher and lecturer at the university of basil, specializing in quanta, they are the smallest units of energy known to scientists. But with properties that would make conventional bit based. Computers looked distinctly primitive and num, all that and i submitted a regular computer with regular Computing Power performs one calculation for time units or clock cycle and quantum physically. So if you have countless calculations being performed in parallel, if you need extreme, the best way to sort of the highest but all the be spanish, the prime example is the factor is ation as a very large number of states, in this case of the quantum computer quickly arrives at the results by simultaneously trying to divide by all possible numbers called a classical computer processing. A number with several 1000 digits would take as long as the universe is old. Now and also long ago we saw in the bathroom all these at the same problem can be solved by a quantum computer in a matter of hours or even seconds. So what actually are quantum . Exploring this mysterious living world requires us to think in the smallest possible dimensions smaller still than adams. At this tiniest imaginable scale, the classical laws of nature no longer apply, and something fascinating happens. Quanta can exist in different states and in different places. At the same time, the quantum theory was pioneered in the 1920s by the likes of Albert Einstein and evan shutting up. They used thought experiments to illustrate these apparent paradoxes that stretch the limits of our imagination. The evans, who didnt know was an austrian physicist, primarily known today because of a cat. More specifically, an experiment that he, fortunately never carried out in practice. He imagined a cat and a box together with a device that would have a 5050. 00 chance of releasing a deadly poison in the next hour. According to quantum theory, the cat is then simultaneously both dead and alive. The button only provided we dont check inside the box and the Quantum Mechanics system near observation influence is the actual state inside. We cannot make an assessment without looking, including whether the cat is dead or alive. What sounds absurd was a demonstration of the conundrum at the heart of Quantum Mechanics. Simultaneously different states at the quantum level are not compatible with accepted laws of nature. And this little world particles can be linked or entangled with each other, while at the same time being in different states and places. And that simultaneity can be calculated in the southern southern sources, the states that can be called mathematical superposition for simultaneity. When i did glance the data to the represented as wave function side comprises a coefficient for an upward spin plus another coefficient for a downward spin. But of course, and this is im alternating stickly. And thats how you can imagine a q bits of an arrow pointing in a random direction youd be getting sticking room hope to, i guess on the 6th of so for quantum or cubits are the Building Blocks of a quantum computer. The while a normal computer process has information and bits, as ones or zeros cubits have both values. At the same time, its comparable to a flipped, coined where you dont know whether it will land heads or tails. The before these cubits can be controlled and used for calculations, they have to be mobilized. That in turn requires a complex procedure in which they are cooled down to temperatures, otherwise seen in outer space. Around a minus 270 degrees celsius. For the surface area helps to again exchange the heat to the, to the cold liquids which are pumping out. This is cooling this because then saying we can actually then do the experiments at temperatures down to 10 military so comport compared to you know, for calvin. This is Something Like 400 times in temperature, ph. D. Students here at the university of basil, are assembling a small quantum computer with a small number of cubits. The aim is to deploy the technology for a variety of applications once its been fully developed. Quantum computers within simulate molecules, for example, leading to the development of new drugs and the elimination of deadly diseases. Another potential application is Renewable Energy storage. The the technology has already brought benefits to logistics operations. The introduction of quantum algorithms has helped to increase the speed and capacity of Cargo Movement at the port of los angeles. As a result, the facility now operates more efficiently and with less energy. Quantum computing seems to have a highly lucrative business potential for years now. A range of Tech Companies including google and ibm and a nation state players like china have been in a rigs to build the 1st High Performance quantum computer. The money invested in research is in the billions a switzerland has a different approach up town, basil infinity, uses private sector funding to provide companies with free access to American Quantum computers. The hub is called quantum basil and is headed by dom youre bogged and proclaimed the list of all the industry. The problems facing industries are getting increasingly complex. All is not due to the use of Artificial Intelligence as a factor of course may nothing. But when you eventually reach certain limits and it reaches its limits, then you have to think a couple of steps ahead and how many things change that seem to be cancelled on the good Artificial Intelligence applications could been far more efficiently on Quantum Computers to, to go and when i say efficiency, and i mean not only computing speed i but also energy efficiency, if the hub works with a hybrid system, combining conventional and Quantum Computers start ups in the program can turn to ibm credit like flow to for advice on tackling their problems. And on thinking outside of the box task one was meant, the 1st thing is to break down the individual issues and look at which specific quantum algorithm is it all relevant, a demand and as quantum is a completely different kind of calculating. It enables you to give a problem. Its a complete re, things that people plan for how to find a new approach. So its an extended well, this involves what we call the quantum state of mind. One term state of mind. And the sum 40 studies have already been conducted on the basis of the quantum computer with the purpose of simplifying and accelerating the development of medication. Vixen emitted tenants and has, has in both medicine and health care because were seeing a significant increase in the Data Available of a height of it. And also in the range of data dot, is it some payments, data bits, data for fitness, tractors, fitness data and medical records, and so on. Concoct onto the tons of fault when i asked processing the complex correlation between all of those data data requires the kind of Computing Power, the Classical Computers struggle to achieve that plus your last low. And that is where Quantum Computers have real potential. You of course important. So an example from the pharmaceutical industry to data researchers have covered just one percent of all potentially active molecules for drugs. That should be good to call its and basically its reflected in Cancer Treatment for example, it only one and 3 patients respond directly to drug based therapy style p, p. I so far its um we alternatively wont be able to resolve all of these challenges with quantum computing printer, but were confident of being able to help with some of that. And its not from this, you know, past a coffin further south and burn the team at how the lakes are hoping to resolve. One of those problems in the very near future. Quantum computers can be used to evaluate huge amounts of data, providing Detailed Insights into a patients genetic makeup, a small scale replica of a loan or another. Oregon is designed to deliver more effective treatments for Cancer Patients. We dont know yet, which of the different types might be effective . Its coming to through these thinking you could look at the genome and wonder what the best one for the patient is and maybe make a customized comp trial. The patient might been stalling, send them, you know, therapy, and when they have a break, thats when we can take your tissue sample altima. It data to cut my own skin baby for the bucks here to placing the sample onto our old and on ship. We would then try out a new coach sale you said that would have a picture of fix when the patient goes for the next treatment. Has whats especially crucial for Cancer Patients is minimizing aside to fix. Instead of additional suffering, you want them to be safe and getting the most effective medication available. And thats where we can help if its difficult for me to commit to picking up the committee. At the same time, elvia likes wants to help eliminate animal testing from pre clinical studies. The decades animal experiments have been standard procedure in the development of new drugs. With rodents, the most widely used species in switzerland alone, labs performed tests on over half a 1000000 animals a year. The to asked us to lose our medias. To objective is to reduce animal experiments. They asked me to come either a large number of drugs that are on the 16th with the human genome and human cells, making animal test 0 advantage conflict that had somebody to come in. So i would say the drugs dont even reach the mockers because they dont prematurely, in the pre clinical study. Phase one bus. Our aim is not removing all of them from the markets, but as long as shooting the most severe tests where the animals are under stream kind and generous offerings experiments with. So there are 2 levels of 3. 00 and 4. 00. The about ops us a call. My nonsense with very optimistic about helping to make this happen, theyll soon separate the whole from the middle say about because of the but in europe, their effort space a hurdle. The European Medicines Agency refuses to grant approval for drugs without animal testing beforehand. In the united states, however, a bill passed in 2020 to remove the requirement for animal tests prior to market approval. And a proposed update on that legislation would also allow tests using computer models or artificial organs. There is already Large Scale Research in the us on this front as seen at the Cleveland Clinic in the state of ohio. The latest breakthrough, there is an in house quantum computer, the its the 1st quantum computer in the world to be uniquely dedicated to health care research. And its work will be much appreciated. Given the clinics, 10000000. 00 patient visits per year. John, our summit is a Senior Research writ ibm and highlights the dividends from the vast amounts of medical data. This has the potential to drive our pace of progress to addressing the important disease challenges that were facing and challenges and paid to patient care. So much faster and to produce breakthroughs and discoveries that will be absolutely essential for all of us. In march 2023, the clinic officially unavailable to its treasured quantum computer. Its c o. Welcome to guests from cleveland and further afield. A thank you very much. Were bringing something new to our organization is something new to the world, the quantum computer system, one, it sounds a little bit sense fiction that is right behind me is the most advanced Computational Technology and computational platform that exists. Were very excited because it is going to allows us to advance Research Advanced discovery, advanced medical care. But we also very excited because it will create a lot of jobs among the guests invited to the event was the mere bug didnt from quantum basil and uptown basil, which is no coincidence. The us is the leading market and the development of Quantum Computers and uptown is a partner of ibm for the moment stage. And most of all, the sure things think and australian think tank. Publish the studies citing 44. 00 technologies that will change the world to them. That once within a few and in china is already leading and 37 of them nights in c, no theater just behind on the im for the and one of the remaining 7 where the us as a, had it says the field of quantum computing or the old style speech clumped to compute the bad news for the new to with a failed partnership agreement, making cooperation more difficult. The in china for the st. So was it for the decision by switzerland or, or the you that switzerland can not be involved in the horizon program. It only means we have to find someone else to work with me to being somebody all this whole time. It doesnt mean of tongue. Basil is no longer interested in your opinion partnerships to show that we are in the us a lot because of all thats happening there last spring. Up then balls with a movie that we do with another attraction for the company. Executive is the Silicon Valley mentality. A world away from the conservative risk averse approach in switzerland to all the things movies ag, ahead treat sci fi that said meet switzerland does have a lot of strong points to that pretty beyond 30. We have really research in this area, in bottles and at the p. S o n direct Technical University. Always menus for these specially phase what were missing, sometimes its a proper climate for startups to grow in this the startups and thats a lot better in the us should be supposing of doing this either way. So the Quantum Computers evolution to data promises incredible opportunities in the future. But scientists and universities are more cautious about developments quota put them to always have to the so theres a risk of it, perhaps taking longer and of certain problems coming up at all to provide a building as Quantum Computers that can immediately solve gigantic problems, wont be easy to proclaim holidays with us, it will have to be one step at a time. So maybe that todays compu
