The Quantum Divide

Technology EN ↓ 32 episodes

The Quantum Divide is a podcast focussing on quantum technology, with a slant towards networking. Do you work in the IT industry, want to learn about quantum technologies, and are daunted by the extraordinarily high bar for deep comprehension? Yeah, me too. Join our podcast to hear interesting talks about quantum technology concepts, and fascinating interviews from individuals in the industry.(Opinions expressed by Steve & Dan belong only to them, and not their employer)

Post Quantum Cryptography Monologue 24.07.2023 36:43

This episode is a short monologue of my perspective on PQC after a little time investigating the details. I'm sure you'll miss Steve's jokes on this one. Very helpful IETF draft: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ar-pquip-pqc-engineers/

Quantum Machine Learning. An interview with Santanu Ganguly. 15.07.2023 1:03:49

In this episode we are joined by Santanu Ganguly to describe quantum machine learning (QML), explore some of the different connotations of the term, the real world use-cases , and where we see emerging benefits. Steve also cracks a hilarious comment about a quantum leap not being very big, because if you quantise a leap it ends up very small indeed. Quantum-Enhanced Data Classification with a Vari...

Quantum Conjecture. An Interview with Sam Samuel. 07.07.2023 46:06

Today we join Sam Samuel from Cisco, and discuss quantum networking, computing, and fine stone masonry. We do a little future gazing, and bring some opinions of realism to the idea of long distance quantum networking. The following QuTech paper was mentioned: https://qutech.nl/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/A-Link-Layer-Protocol-for-Quantum-Networks.pdf

Quantum Network Simulation 29.06.2023 44:12

Welcome to Episode 4, this week we double-click into simulation for quantum network systems. We talk about the similarities of classical and quantum simulations, the practicality of quantum network simulation, some developer tools available, frameworks and/or standardisation and lack-thereof. We touch on the purpose and outcomes of simulation and look forward to how the ecosystem could develop. •...

Quantum Computing Cloud Services 19.06.2023 44:17

This week Steve and Dan chat about quantum computing services delivered from the cloud.

Distributed Quantum Computing 07.06.2023 38:43

In episode two we focus in on distributed quantum computers, therefore some chat about in-QPU connectivity, using qbit state transfer mechanisms to connect multiple machines, parallelisation, and the nice weather in Germany.
