Quantum computers promise to revolutionize various research fields and industries through its extraordinary computational capabilities. But why are they special, and what makes the MonarQ computer so unique? Let’s find out together. What is a quantum computer? Whereas a classical computer processes a single piece of information at a time, a quantum computer processes...

Read moreDid you say SUPERcomputer? In the 1960s, a supercomputer was actually a really big computer. At the time, to get more power, we tried to manufacture bigger and bigger computer parts! This may seem logical, but we quickly realized that the laws of physics (and our wallet) prevented us from going too big. To overcome...
