Quantum Computing Now: Recent Episodes

Ethan Hansen

This is a podcast all about quantum computing news, basic concepts, and what people in the field are doing. Quantum computing is serious stuff and we talk about serious science, but I try to not take myself too seriously. With that being said, quantum computing is rad as heck. Oh and here's the obligatory phrase " quantum computing podcast " so search engines pick this up.

We've heard on the show before about software needed to secure devices in a post-quantum world, but what about the hardware? Mamta Gupta from Lattice Semiconductor is here to tell us all about that!

A note: at one point, Mamta talks about massive parallelism being the reason for quantum computing's speedup. As far as I can tell, it's not. I didn't think during the podcast was the best time to bring it up, but if you want to learn more, I recommend looking at the episode I did with Scott Aaronson and also the episode with Jon Skerrett

In a world where quantum computers put the entire fate of encrypted messaging on the line, only one man can stop them… cue action shots and tense music

Just kidding of course, Mike Brown works with a whole company that can stop them! Listen to this episode to learn more about the real-world work that’s going on behind the scenes, and less about this awesome summer thriller movie concept I just came up with.

Everyone always asks "what is a quantum amplifier" but never "how is a quantum amplifier." Well in this episode I got to ask just that! (or rather, how is an amplifier quantum?) Dr. Olivia Lanes was my incredible guest who taught me a lot about all sorts of hardware surrounding superconducting qubits, although we focused on quantum amplifiers for the most part.

Quantum computing and the space race share some commonalities if you ask Jack and I, but that’s not all we’re here to talk about today. Join Jack Ceroni and myself for a discussion of pennylane, QML, getting started with quantum, and what in the world are QNodes?

In this episode I talk about the job of quantum software engineers. What this job is about and how it's different from similar positions? What challenges do QSEs face? What are some typical tasks that they work on? I tried to answer all these questions.

Some links to useful resources:

The Mermin-Peres magic square is a simple game which is at the heart of many results in quantum cryptography and quantum complexity theory. In this episode, we trace the origin of the Mermin-Peres square back to two short papers by N. David Mermin and Asher Peres.

Mermin's paper: https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.65.3373

Peres' paper: https://doi.org/10.1016/0375-9601(90)90172-K

I had an excellent, thoroughly entertaining, and long chat with Peter Johnson from Zapata Computing. We got to talk a lot about VQE, quantum advantage, and new algorithms that try to squeeze performance out of quantum hardware.
