Are we close to reaching a point where quantum computing provides practical benefits? What have been the great ideas and errors on the way? Is it now or never?

 The panelists explain how a quantum computer differs from a traditional computer and discuss what they´re good for and what their practical applications can be. What types of physical systems are good for building quantum bits and quantum processors? Do we need new software to program quantum computers? And why is Finland the place for developing quantum technologies and quantum computing?
