This episode is about Quantum Computing and trying to look behind the hype around it. Helping me with that is Oliver Brown from the Edinburgh Parallel Computer Centre (EPCC), where he leads a quantum applications group.
There is plenty of material on the subject out there. Here are some links, also mentioned in the episode:
