On Tuesday 21st April, the 6th Computer Science students visited Equal1 in the UCD start-up campus in Belfield to learn and see all about the world's first rack-mounted quantum computer.
The 6th years met with some of the Equal1 team members who explained what is involved in quantum computing. The 6th years also got to do a number of tests in the computer science lab using Raspberry Pico's to test aspects of quantum computing, as well as seeing how quantum chips are designed.
Sincere thanks to Dr Conor Power for organising the morning's activities - an exhilarating trip as we got to see where computing is going to in the future.

The TY Horticulture class were out in the Autumn sunshine planting Spring bulbs using the chaos planting method. This is when a multitude of different spring bulbs (Hyacinths, Daffodils, Tulips, Crocuses, Narcissi) are mixed together and randomly planted so that we have a mixture of flowers and patterns emerging in the spring. It mimics nature and so is more enticing to pollinators and native insects that need the food in Spring.
