A long-held dream of tech strategists is approaching reality: the widespread use of quantum computers. These particularly powerful computers would revolutionize numerous rules of economics – make logistics and transport more efficient, accelerate the development of medicines and other products, and conserve the use of resources.
German entrepreneurs play a key role, both in the development of quantum computers and in the first industrial applications. Companies like BMW, the German railway or BASF are considered pioneers.
How far are we actually from the breakthrough of this new technology? Why does a German in Helsinki play a crucial role? And why does former Chancellor Angela Merkel (69) play an astonishing role in Germany’s strong position in this important tech trend?
Claas Tatje, editor and one of the tech reporters at manager magazin, provides information about this in an interview with Sven Clausen.
In the “Das Thema” podcast, editor-in-chief Sven Clausen provides information every week about the editorial team’s exclusive findings on a topic that is crucial for the German economy. You can listen to the podcast via manager magazin as well as on Spotify
