How do you build a quantum computer? Daisy Shearer
@quantumdaisy.bsky.social from National Quantum Computing Centre breaks it down:
🔹 Qubits (the building blocks)
🔹 Why they’re so delicate
🔹 The extreme engineering needed - like cooling them close to absolute zero ❄️

Now this was a really interesting discussion!

@gemmamilne.bsky.social talks about how we hype quantum tech, how that can help build public interest and investment, but also about the potential dangers of hyping too much or in the wrong way
