Quickly Quantum

The daily quantum computing briefing you don"t need a physics degree to follow. Every day, Quickly Quantum cuts through the hype to bring you the breakthroughs, funding rounds, policy moves, and research that actually matter, with plain-English analysis a smart non-physicist can follow. Hosted by Brian Lampert. AI-voiced, human-built, always skeptical of press releases. Nothing on this show is financial advice. Also from Brian Lampert: Concrete Compute and Space Stakes.
