Building for Quantum
2025
Co-directed
with Marina Otero Verzier
This machine represents the world's first modular quantum architecture, designed to form systems capable of solving problems far beyond the reach of today's classical supercomputers. By processing data in multidimensional spaces, it offers insights into the behavior of subatomic particles and mobilizes the foundational principles of quantum mechanics: superposition, entanglement, decoherence, and interference. Delving into the daily challenges of building this architecture, the camera goes behind the scenes to offer a glimpse into the manipulation of matter and the technological, human, and labor efforts involved.
