On the Path to a Quantum Computer: Interview with Prof. Hendrik Bluhm

In the ML4Q Cluster of Excellence, scientists from RWTH Aachen University, together with their partners, are working to develop a practical quantum computer. Prof. Hendrik Bluhm compares this research journey to a mountain marathon: the goal is groundbreaking, but the path is long and full of challenges. In this interview, he discusses technological hurdles, the role of semiconductor qubits, industrial collaborations, and the vision behind ML4Q. What progress has been made so far? And what challenges still lie ahead? Read the full interview to find out!
