The Quantum Computing Podcast with Fexingo: Qubits, Quantum Hardware, and Future Computing

Lucas and Luna explore how quantum computing is already transforming materials science, long before full fault-tolerant quantum machines arrive. They focus on a concrete example: simulating lithium-sulfur battery chemistry to reduce dendrite formation, a problem classical supercomputers can't crack. The episode discusses the transition from classical approximations to quantum models, the role of h...

Episode 3 of The Quantum Computing Podcast with Fexingo dives into the heated debate over quantum supremacy claims. Lucas and Luna unpack the landmark 2019 Google Sycamore experiment versus the 2023 Jiuzhang 3.0 photonic demonstration from China, explaining why each claim sparked controversy. They break down the key metric — random circuit sampling — and discuss whether it proves genuine advantage...

In this episode of The Quantum Computing Podcast, Lucas and Luna dive deep into quantum error correction, the field's single biggest technical challenge. They explain why qubits are inherently error-prone, how surface codes and logical qubits work, and why a recent milestone from a startup called QuEra—demonstrating a logical gate with neutral atoms—could be more important than raw qubit count. Lu...

In the debut episode of The Quantum Computing Podcast with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna dive into Google's new quantum chip, Willow, which achieved a milestone that would take a classical supercomputer trillions of years. They explore what Willow actually does, why it matters for error correction, and how this positions quantum computing for practical applications. Lucas explains the key metric—quantum...
