| Intelligent Brake Lights Could Save Your Life |
 | The messages sent by brake lights to the driver behind bear a small resemblance to the binary code used by computers. But as we all know, the binary code is hardly the perfect communication language. For example, when you press the brake pedal, the break lights signal to the cars behind your intention to stop, except that no additional information is given, such as whether the car is slowing down or you are executing an emergency brake.

| Quantum Computers as Code Breakers |
 | Quantum computers are much faster than their traditional counterparts just because of their fundamentally different architecture and so they are able to solve complex problems in less time than a normal computer. Some tasks that require a lot of computational power and are nowadays taking more and more time to finish, like cracking encryptions, could be one of the areas where quantum computers will be mostly employed.
