The New Quantum Era - innovation in quantum computing, science and technology

Kevin and Sebastian are joined by Grant Salton, a quantum researcher at AWS, who helps us understand a recent paper from Google and Caltech whose authors describe a simulation of a wormhole on Google's Sycamore quantum computer. The paper stirred some controversy and push back on the misunderstanding of the claims being made, and Grant walks us through a sub-domain of quantum information science called "it from qubit," which seeks to bridge elements of astrophysics with concepts from

Key Takeaways:[3:38] Nathalie shares how she found her way into the field of quantum technology.[6:25] Nathalie talks about the key moment in the landscape towards being a believer in Quantum Technology.[8:29] Nathalie talks about certain things that made her change her mind.[12:20] Nathalie speaks about her particular entry into the science field.[18:09] How far up the stack does Nathalie’s interest lie, and how does that inform what she has been doing down at the materials?[22:54]

Welcome to another episode of The New Quantum Era Podcast hosted by Kevin Rowney and Sebastian Hassinger. Today, they are joined by Steve Girvin, professor of Physics at Yale who has a central role in the Yale Quantum Institute, which has been ground zero for the recent development in superconducting qubits. The topics we had initially planned needed some adjustment, because on the day of the interview, the Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to three scientists for their work experimentally

Key Takeaways:[3:23] James introduces himself.[4:20] James talks about his engagement in game development using the public IBM Cloud quantum systems.[5:40] James explains why he said he expected the field of quantum computing to be more accessible by starting with hobbyists.[7:02] James talks about the theory behind quantum computing.[8:23] James speaks of how to engage people in quantum computing by proving Einstein was wrong in how he saw quantum mechanics.[12:39] What are some of the

Title: Molecular and Subatomic Physics with David MazziottiDescription: Welcome to another episode of The New Quantum Era Podcast hosted by Kevin Rowney and Sebastian Hassinger. Today, they are joined by David Mazziotti, a physicist, and research team leader at the University of Chicago. He generously showed up with some deeply fascinating material for your consideration. Professor Mazziotti is a highly accomplished scholar, researcher, and mentor. This interview with David is a ringside

Welcome to another episode of The New Quantum Era Podcast hosted by Kevin Rowney and Sebastian Hassinger. Today, they are joined by Cesar A. Rodriguez  Rosario, Chief Scientific Officer at Strangeworks, who is discussing the parallels between quantum computing and the development of the classical computing world at the stage of vacuum tubes and the invention of the transistor.Cesar Rodriguez is a great example of somebody who is knowledgeable about the space of Quantum Computing and sees

Key Takeaways:[8:25] Nick Bronn does a quick introduction about himself.[9:23] At what point in Nick’s academic career did he find he was attracted to quantum computing rather than the condensed matter physical started to get drawn into the field?[13:27] When Nick joined IBM, did they have a functioning superconducting qubit? Was there a transmon that was operational at that point? Or was it still building the first one in IBM?[17:23] How a transmon qubit does its thing?[20:27] Nick
