Atoms and smaller elementary particles behave in unusual, sometimes unpredictable ways. It sounds strange, but it is this unpredictability that gives a quantum computer its power. Executing precise calculations with previously unheard-of possibilities in a way that physicists still do not completely comprehend: welcome to the world of the quantum computer.
At the CARIM research institute (school for cardiovascular diseases) in Maastricht, a group of researchers – led by Joost Lumens - is working with ‘het digitale tweelinghart’ (the digital twin heart): a computer model that simulates the human heart. This research gives rise to a great deal of optimism. Thanks to the possibilities offered by the digital twin heart in the future, treatments can be better targeted to the clinical profile of one specific patient. Also, fewer invasive and (therefore) burdensome treatments for the patient will be needed and there will be a reduction in the number of the laboratory animals required for research.

Here she discusses the secret to successful negotiation, a feminist interpretation of international law, and the Scout Movement.
