      "summary_nl": "Kwantumcomputers bestaan uit vele onderdelen die niet alleen met elkaar, maar ook met de buitenwereld interacteren. Deze interacties geven kwantumcomputers de kracht die ze nodig hebben om klassieke computers te overtreffen, maar maken ze tegelijkertijd moeilijk te controleren vanwege een fenomeen dat decoherentie wordt genoemd, of met andere woorden, ruis. In dit project ontwikkelen onderzoekers algoritmen die bestand zijn tegen ruis, waardoor de weg wordt vrijgemaakt voor het gebruiken van huidig beschikbare kwantumcomputers om lastige problemen in cryptografie op te lossen, en chemische processen voor de ontwikkeling van nieuwe materialen en medicijnen effectiever te bestuderen dan momenteel mogelijk is.",
      "summary_en": "Quantum computers are made up of many entities that, not only interact with each other but also with the outside world. These interactions give quantum computers the power they need to surpass classical computers, but at the same time make them difficult to control due to a phenomenon called quantum decoherence, or in other words, noise. In this project, researchers develop noise-resistant algorithms, paving the way for currently available quantum computers to solve hard problems in cryptography, and to study chemical processes for the development of new materials and medicine more effectively than currently possible.",

          "update_en": "So far, the project has developed a new algorithm called Fidelity-Enhanced Variational Quantum Optimal Control (F-VQOC). This method helps quantum computers perform calculations more accurately, even when their hardware is affected by noise and errors—a common challenge for today’s Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) devices. The F-VQOC algorithm combines ideas from stochastic processes and quantum control to automatically adjust how quantum operations are carried out, improving the reliability of results. In this way, it makes better use of existing quantum processors, bringing us a step closer to practical, large-scale quantum computing.",
          "update_nl": "Tot nu toe heeft het project een nieuw algoritme ontwikkeld, genaamd Fidelity-Enhanced Variational Quantum Optimal Control (F-VQOC). Deze methode helpt kwantumcomputers om berekeningen nauwkeuriger uit te voeren, zelfs wanneer hun hardware wordt beïnvloed door ruis en fouten—een veelvoorkomend probleem bij de huidige Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ)-apparaten. Het F-VQOC-algoritme combineert ideeën uit stochastische processen en kwantumcontrole om automatisch aan te passen hoe kwantumoperaties worden uitgevoerd, waardoor de betrouwbaarheid van de resultaten wordt verbeterd. Op deze manier maakt het beter gebruik van bestaande kwantumprocessors en brengt het ons een stap dichter bij praktische, grootschalige kwantumcomputers."
