But not for the scientists currently using them to build a super computer. I can live i, nobody knows what quantum computing really means, but it is going to change us to see if those fit on the it 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 formal yet. 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 at a swift start up. Our aiming to tackle diseases faster with the help of a super computer me nina, hoping you found it. I was able to ex, together with you on extra ok there work one them. 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 alone. Yeah, so i wanted to see were able to simulate the settles by recreating the environment of the human body and the plastic chip for a minute. Ill be able to talk to them cheap and they want this little piece not this minute enables us to simulate miniature organs that are far more similar to the real thing than any other options currently available. I was also a little so 2 thoughts to be more similar than with in vitro testing or animal experiments. The researchers say the mock miniature long will make it easier to design new drugs. A meant to come out and fix like the shop is escape, the Drug Development process takes around 10 to 15 years to begin with. Youve touched a huge number of molecules and petri dishes, the solar, although theyre the sellers 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 set up. Now that you can danish, you later move on to animal experiments and conduct tests for saves and Toxic Properties all by the entire process as extremely involved. Especially when you think about the animal testing required. And this is where our Technology Comes in and unsuccessful. No, its hope the miniature long will enable researchers, most notably at pharmaceutical companies to speed up the drug testing process. Here we have the entity in selves and then you have the pnc. So the news selves really on top of your actually did you do and then click on that. And so if i may have to soccer, we can determine far earlier whether a particular molecule was effective and whether there are side effects and it was all humans. It enables you to optimize the process and ultimately lower costs, and so that it by 500000000 fonts for drug, according to studies on. So maybe some things that are already possible today could be done even faster and more efficiently with the technology, while also rendering animal experiments redundant to you for you sort of feed much i can put on the companys aim is to help and the development of better medication and the reduction of side effects for patients in florida. See we also want our technology to help reduce or eliminate animal testing. So these are 2 animal experiments are simply not adequate predictors of whether a drug actually works with humans today need for this august asked see if we can submit to come on the i was come to come to do it was my doctoral supervisor who originally got me interested in quantum computing, its all going on and im still there today on this more back when i started studying the physics at zuric Technical University. Nobody was talking about it. Id never heard of it. Dominique soon. Booley is a researcher and lecturer at the university of basil, specializing in quantum. They are the smallest units of energy known to scientists, but with properties that would make conventional bit based. Computers looked distinctly primitive in the mall 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 cleaning, extreme tv, it actually goes to the ice, but all the be spanish, the prime example is the factor is ation of a very large number of states. In this case of to 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, because when youve asked them 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 imagined section, the club, and shooting it with 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 but only provided we dont check inside the box. And the Quantum Mechanics system me or 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 for the source, its a state that can be called mathematical superposition for simultaneity. And i think thats the date and to the represented as wave function side, while it comprises a coefficient for an upward spin plus another coefficient for a downward spin. But of course, and this is im alternating distinctly safety. And thats how you can imagine a q bed with an arrow pointing in a random direction hed be getting sticking room hope to i get comments and stuff. So for quantum or cubits are the Building Blocks of a quantum computer. The while a normal computer process as information in bits, as ones or zeros, cubits have both values. At the same time. Its comfortable to a flip coins 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. So the to the cold liquids which are pumping out this cooling, the re condensing liquid system. We can actually then do the experiments of temperatures down to 10 village, 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 would then 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 of 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. Uptown, 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 bulbous at 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 they nothing. But when you eventually reach certain limits and a i reach has its limits all you do, 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. The hump 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 taskbar management. The 1st thing is to break down the individual issues and look at which specific quantum algorithm is it all relevant to land. And as quantum is a completely different kind of calculating. It enables you to give the problem is a complete re think of people planned 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. All heard of it also in the range of data or thought is it some of the payments, data bits, data for fitness, tractors, fitness data and medical records and so on. Concoct onto the terms of full when i asked processing the complex correlations between all of those data data requires the kind of Computing Power, the Classical Computers struggle to a cheese of classes as well. And that is where the Quantum Computers have real potential cost to put in. 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 college. And this is reflected in cancer treatment, for example, they to only one and 3 patients respond directly to drug based therapy is to help you the so far its um we also have really 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. It makes not from this, you know, past a coffin to further south and burn the team and 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. The small scale replica of alone 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 the thinking you could look at the genome and wonder what the best one for the patient is and maybe make a customized comp trail. The patient like then stops and them, you know, syrupy. And when they have a break, thats when we can take a tissue sample 1000 ma, it data to cut my own skin, baby for the bucks here, placing the sample onto our old and on chip. We would then try out a new car sale you said that would have a visual effects when the patient goes to the next treatment. Has whats especially crucial for Cancer Patients is minimized, saw 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 different, if me to come and pick them up for me to by talk like at the same time, elvia likes wants to help eliminate animal testing from pre clinical studies the for 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 tons asked us to lose. Our immediate objective is to reduce animal experiments. They asked me to come in, there are large number of drugs that are on the effective with the human genome and human cells making animal test 0 advantage conflict that had somebody to come in. So i would say to drugs, dont even reach democracy because theyve stopped prematurely in the pre Clinical Study phase on bus. Our aim is not really losing all of them from the market, but as long as shooting the most just the via tests where the animals are under stream pain and us for future experiments with. So there are 2 levels of 3. 00 and 4. 00. You have an option for com and then were very optimistic about helping to make this happen. Will soon step with the huffman models model see about because of the but in europe, their efforts 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. The, there was 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 r smith is a Senior Researcher at 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, and paid 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 unveiled its treasured quantum computer it c o. Welcome to guests from cleveland and further afield. Thank you very much. Were bringing something new to 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 the 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 bogdan 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 thing tank. Publish the studies citing 44. 00 technologies that will change the world to them that are once within a few and, and china is already leading and 37. 00 of them nights in c, no theater just behind on the i am for the and one of the remaining 7 where the us as i had it says the field of quantum computing ornament or the speech clumped to compute 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, the decision by switzerland or the you that switzerland cannot be involved in the Horizon Program and all that means we have to find someone else to work with me to bring home at all this whole time. It doesnt mean of ton. Basil is no longer interested in your opinion partnerships off the shelf, but we are in the us a lot because of all thats happening, theyre all splitting up them. And also the movie that we do is so another attraction for the company, executive is the Silicon Valley mentality. A world away from the conservative risk averse approach in switzerland. The all of the things was these are the history c, v that said meet switzerland does have a lot of strong points of the pretty. Im 30, we have really research in this area in bottles and that the p f. L. Direct Technical University was always managed for these typically phase what were missing sometimes as a proper climate for startups to grow in stock. Thats and thats a lot better in the us should be switching it through to see the west of the Quantum Computers. Evolution to date promise is incredible opportunities in the future. But scientists and universities are more cautious about developments. Quoted booked until always to the so theres a risk of it for haps taking longer and of certain problems
