Episodes
Welcome to season 2 finale of fAQ! For this season, Tai-Danae and Adam focused on a single topic: What is actually happening inside a quantum computer? By the end of this season, you'll have a better understanding of the "how" of quantum computing. So get ready to go beyond the theory and dig into what's actually going on these machines that harness the fundamental forces of the universe! In this sixth episode, we continue our exploration into DiVincenzo's fifth criterion for functional...

In this episode, we’re continuing to talk about quantum applications. You may have heard that quantum computer will break all passwords and security on the Internet...is that true?! How would that work? Tai-Danae and Adam are joined again by physicist and SandboxAQ's VP of engineering, Stefan Leichenauer to discuss how most encryption works online right now, and how quantum computers will affect that.

In this episode, we’re moving from theory to applications. Where are qubits, superposition, and entanglement used in the real world? In this episode, Tai-Danae and Adam are joined by physicist Stefan Bogdanovic to discuss one example — nitrogen vacancy centers in diamonds — and how they are used as quantum sensors for medical applications and more.

Is a bit just a 0 or 1? What's the difference between a bit and qubit...and why should you care? Join Adam and Tai-Danae as they discuss the history of ‘bits’ and explore both the concept and physicality of qubits, including examples and applications. Want to get in touch? Write us at [email protected] Chapters: 00:00 Introductions 01:15 What are bits? 02:45 Wait, why are we talking about bits?! 04:21 Concepts of bits vs physical bits 05:55 Etymology of the word 'bit' 11:25 Bits as...
