How can we create qubits for quantum computing? @oistedu

Uploaded April 2026 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago

Qubits are the foundations of quantum computing. Compared to classical bits, they have special properties that enable quantum computers to represent and process information far more efficiently for certain tasks.
There are several physical ways to make qubits. At OIST and around the world, researchers are exploring different platforms, each with its own advantages and challenges. Find out more in our video.

$Provost Lecture Series: Yasha Neiman On the occasion of his tenure, Prof. Yasha Neiman presents his lecture, Gravity just wants to spend more time with you This is a physics lecture for non-physicists. Our main goal will be to understand the familiar gravitational force as a consequence of time dilation. We will talk about: 1. How the reflection and refraction laws of geometric optics follow from Fermats least-time principle. 2. Experienced time vs. coordinate time in Special Relativity and the twins paradox. 3. Inertia from a most experienced time principle. 4. Newtonian gravity from a modification of the experienced-time formula. 5. The metric field of General Relativity. 6. Electromagnetism as an extra contribution to experienced time. 7. Mass, charge, action.$
