Winfried Hensinger

Winfried Hensinger, a leading expert on quantum technologies at the University of Sussex, dives into Google's new Willow quantum chip. This chip can complete tasks in five minutes that would take traditional computers 10 septillion years. Hensinger discusses the implications of this leap for industries like pharmaceuticals and medical imaging. He also explores the fundamental principles of quantum physics, the potential applications of this technology, and the competitive race to achieve breakthroughs in quantum computing.

Join Professor Ivette Fuentes, a Quantum Physicist, as she unravels the mysteries of entanglement and superposition. Professor Winfried Hensinger discusses the practicalities of quantum teleportation and its implications for quantum computing. Meanwhile, Professor Helen Beebee delves into the philosophical dilemmas of identity raised by teleportation. The trio explores whether a teleported person remains the same individual, and the potential ethical quandaries of risking one's original self for a sci-fi dream.
