A new supercomputer is supposed to help reduce animal testing and cure cancer. The hype surrounding quantum computers is inspiring many companies, and they could also provide solutions for storing renewable energy or revolutionize the logistics sector. A Swiss startup is looking to produce artificial lungs and use quantum algorithms to conduct research more efficiently in the future, cure cancer and eliminate unnecessary animal testing. A private investor is already enabling Swiss startups to commercialize quantum computers. But the technology is still in its early stages of development and science is not yet clear on its results. Meanwhile, major companies such as IBM and Google are racing to build new and faster supercomputers. This documentary looks at these computers and the possibilities and risks that intersect. #Documentary #DW An invitation to dialogue at DW: https://p.dw.com/p/OYIo More documentaries can be found on our websites in English: http://www.dw.com/ar/tv/docfilm/s-3610 / dwdocumentary / dw.stories
