In a world where quantum computers put the entire fate of encrypted messaging on the line, only one man can stop them… cue action shots and tense music Just kidding of course, Mike Brown works with a whole company that can stop them! Listen to this episode to learn more about the real-world work that’s going on behind the scenes, and less about this awesome summer thriller movie concept I just cam...

Join Steve and I as we talk about the fact that quantum computing is different from high performance computing (among other topics). Real earth-shattering news you can only find right-here on quantum computing now.

Everyone always asks "what is a quantum amplifier" but never "how is a quantum amplifier." Well in this episode I got to ask just that! (or rather, how is an amplifier quantum?) Dr. Olivia Lanes was my incredible guest who taught me a lot about all sorts of hardware surrounding superconducting qubits, although we focused on quantum amplifiers for the most part.

Quantum computing and the space race share some commonalities if you ask Jack and I, but that’s not all we’re here to talk about today. Join Jack Ceroni and myself for a discussion of pennylane, QML, getting started with quantum, and what in the world are QNodes?

In which Brandon and I spend a while chatting about his experience with the Quantum Open Source Foundation Mentorship program (which you can apply for now!), and the project he worked on as part of that. Make sure you listen until we start trying to describe code over audio ;) APPLY FOR THE QOSF MENTORSHIP PROGRAM NOW: https://qosf.org/qc_mentorship/ Coding with Qiskit Season 1: https://www.youtub...

In which Mike and I talk about the reasons trust is so important in bitcoin & blockchain, how quantum computers could erode that trust, and why QRL allows that trust to be maintained, even in the face of a quantum threat.

Amir (VP of R&D at Classiq, a quantum software startup) and I talk about how Quantum Volume is measured and how we in the public should interpret the results that come from it. While the metric does have some flaws, it’s still a good general-purpose single-number way to compare devices.
