Kevin and Sebastian are joined by Joe Fitzsimons, founder and CEO of Horizon Quantum Computing, a startup based in Singapore. Joe recently posted a thread on Twitter responding to some of the reactions to a recent Time cover story about quantum computing. We were really struck by his level-headed optimism and so we wanted to dig in deeper. This is part one of our conversation with Joe, where he explains the reasoning behind his optimism for the future of the technology. Mentioned in the...

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 quantum...

In this episode we are joined by Nathalie DeLeon, Associate Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Princeton University, who is well known for her research in color centers. Also known as diamond vacancies, these materials are a really fascinating platform for quantum information science and engineering applications. In today’s episode, Nathalie shares her journey to become a professor and the winner of the Rolf Landauer and Charles H. Bennett Award in Quantum Computing.

Steve Girvin is a pioneering condensed matter physicist and professor at Yale University who has played a central role in the development of superconducting qubits. He joins Kevin and Sebastian to discuss that history as well as recent, exciting progress in quantum error correction. We also celebrate the 2022 Nobel Prize for Physics, announced the day of the interview, going to experimental proofs of entanglement.

Welcome to another episode of The New Quantum Era Podcast hosted by Kevin Rowney and Sebastian Hassinger. Today, they are joined by James Wootton for a memorable conversation about his wide-ranging interests in a big swath of topics, including the fascinating growing quantum computing hobbyist community and James' passion for education and outreach. James also got into some really interesting material on quantum error correction (and mitigation), and a fascinating bit of math called the...

In this episode Kevin and Sebastian speak with David Mazziotti, a physicist, and research team leader at the University of Chicago. David shared with us how he got interested in quantum computing, his current findings and experiments simulating exciton condensates and creating noise fingerprints of quantum computers, and his optimistic perspective about the possibility of breakthroughs in the near future of quantum.

Kevin and Sebastian talk with Cesar Rodriguez Rosario, Chief Science Officer of Strangeworks, about his path to quantum computing and where the technology is as compared to classical computing. Are we on the cusp of the breakthrough, or is it still over the horizon?

Welcome to the inaugural episode of The New Quantum Era Podcast hosted by Kevin Rowney and Sebastian Hassinger. The quantum computing arena has so many interesting aspects with several new computing models with a huge amount of potential and this podcast is dedicated to asking and answering deep science questions. Each episode will feature an interview with people who are actively driving the domain forward, such as scientists, and researchers, from industrial or academic backgrounds. Today,...
