In ARTE’s recent episode of 𝘚𝘤𝘰𝘱𝘦, “Behind the Scenes of Quantum Computing”, viewers get to explore the physics and engineering that define one of today’s most ambitious scientific fields. 🔬 The episode features alain aspect, French physicist and co-laureate of the 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on quantum entanglement, and David Louapre, doctor in physics and science communicator, who helps connect these ideas to qubits and quantum computation. And our very own Pascale Senellart, CNRS Research Director and co-founder of Quandela, makes an appearance to share her invention. Pascale explains the micropillar structure she developed: a semiconductor component designed to position a single-photon emitter so photons can be emitted one by one, efficiently collected, and guided into an optical fibre. ⚛️ This is a must-see for anyone looking to understand how quantum computing moves from foundational physics to engineered technology. The episode makes quantum computing accessible without oversimplifying it. It also shows the physical reality behind the field, from single photons to trapped atoms, while connecting fundamental science to engineered systems and concrete applications. 💡 Some key highlights ⦁ quantum entanglement and the non-local behaviour that challenges classical intuition; ⦁ how qubits, superposition and entanglement relate to quantum computation; ⦁ the physical building blocks behind quantum computers, from single photons to trapped atoms; ⦁ why decoherence remains one of the central challenges; ⦁ potential applications of quantum computing, including optimisation and energy efficiency.
