One quantum world.
Six ways in.
A qubit can live in a circuit, an atom, light, or a collective state. Explore what changes when the hardware changes.

How a quantum computer works
Follow one program down the layers of a quantum computer, into the refrigerator and onto the chip, then watch qubits being created, entangled and read out.
START THE STORY STORY / TOPOLOGICALInside a topological quantum computer
Zoom from the refrigerator to the nanowire, meet the Majorana zero modes that would store a qubit, and see how measurements stand in for braids.
START THE STORYSuperconducting qubits
Compare square, heavy-hex and chiplet connectivity, then operate an ideal qubit or a neighboring pair.
ENTER THE LABTrapped ions
Compare a stationary ion chain with QCCD transport, create an ideal entangled pair, and inspect two-ion axial modes.
ENTER THE LABNeutral atoms
Compare optical-tweezer geometries, then isolate two atoms to see Rydberg blockade emerge from their quantum dynamics.
ENTER THE LABPhotonic qubits
Control a path-encoded photon, reveal its phase, and compare distinguishable and indistinguishable photon pairs.
ENTER THE LABSilicon spin qubits
Control one electron spin, couple a neighboring pair, and compare linear and square quantum-dot layouts.
ENTER THE LABBraiding one Fibonacci qubit
Exchange Fibonacci anyons. Follow their worldlines and the quantum state encoded in their collective fusion channel.
