He explained that quantum computers “use the quantum properties of materials to make new types of calculations. This allows quantum computers to process more possibilities at the same time, making them faster than traditional computers. Genest explained that among the applications of quantum computing is the discovery of new drugs. Data centresPart of the partnership with Bell includes researching sustainable and smaller-scale data centres. By repurposing the output “waste” of data centres as useful products for other industries or applications, they become more sustainable operations.
