Check out Matt’s TED talk about quantum computing here.

In this episode we had the pleasure of speaking with Matt Langione, partner at the Boston Consulting Group. Matt specializes in bringing research-driven, high-potential "deep tech" to market. He is a leading global expert on the industrial applications of quantum computing, and publishes regularly on topics at the Nexus Science, business and policy.

At BCG, he advises Fortune 500 companies on integrating quantum computing (and other high potential technologies) into their companies. He has addressed audiences at major conferences in the field and has helped steer U.S. Government policy and investment in quantum computing as part of the Quantum Economic Development Consortium (QED-C) and the Government Accountability Office (GAO).

This episode is great for people wanting to learn more about quantum computing. Here is an outline of the episode:

• Explaining quantum computing to a 5 year old
• Quantum superposition
• Quantum entanglement
• How to make qubits
• Different kinds of qubits
• Different kinds of quantum computing and how they differ
• Physical parts of a quantum computer
• Designing quantum circuits
• Decoherence + problems facing quantum computers
• Applications of quantum computing for the future
