The Superposition Guy's Podcast

Théau Peronnin, CEO and co-founder of Alice and Bob, a company making fault-tolerant quantum computers using cat qubits is interviewed by Yuval Boger. Théau and Yuval talk about what cat qubits are, why they protect against bit-flip errors, the kind of software that will be required to take advantage of these new machines, and much more.

Prof. Peter Kogge from Notre Dame, Prof. Gerardo Ortiz from Indiana University and Dr. David Stewart, managing director of the Purdue quantum science and engineering institute are interviewed by Yuval Boger. They talk about the new Center for Quantum Technologies, a multi-site NSF-funded research center, which commercial sponsors are participating in the center and what they expect to get from it, the diverse faculty and students that participate in quantum research and much more.

Daniel Volz, co-founder and CEO of Kipu Quantum, a software company working to accelerate the delivery of quantum advantage is interviewed by Yuval Boger. Daniel and Yuval talk about what Daniel learned about quantum at McKinsey and BASF, their optimized approach to quantum algorithms, the expected timescale for quantum advantage and much more.

Alex Keesling, CEO, and Nate Gemelke, CTO of QuEra, a company building quantum computers based on neutral atoms with a unique analog quantum computation mode, are interviewed by Yuval Boger. Alex, Nate, and Yuval discuss why QuEra chose a different path toward universal, fault-tolerant quantum computers, the significance of recent qubit shuttling experiments, what they learned from the Amazon Braket integration, and much more.

Sabrina Maniscalco, co-founder and CEO of Algorithmiq, a company that is bringing quantum to life and to life sciences is interviewed by Yuval Boger. They talk about Algorithmiq’s approach to achieving quantum advantage for life science applications using NISQ-era gate-based machines, her prediction for when quantum advantage will be achieved, the journey from Sicilia to Finland, and much more.

Pierre Desjardins, co-founder and CEO of C12 Quantum Electronics, a company using carbon nanotubes to create a new quantum architecture, is interviewed by Yuval Boger. Pierre and Yuval talk about C12's unique technology, what carbon nanotubes are, designing custom application-specific quantum chips, and much more.

Mark Jackson, senior quantum evangelist at Quantinuum is interviewed by Yuval Boger. Mark and Yuval talk about optimizing compilers, quantum error correction news, whether customers prefer shrink-wrapped quantum software, and much more.

Max Sich, co-founder and CEO of Aegiq, a quantum photonics company is interviewed by Yuval Boger. Max and Yuval talk about their first product, a single-photon source, and its potential applications, their business model, the impact of governments in quantum - beyond funding - and much more.

Murray Thom, VP of Product Management at D-Wave, Sam Lorenzo CEO at InspirationQ and Sergio Gago, Managing Director - Quantum Computing at Moody’s Analytics are interviewed by Yuval Boger. Murray, Sam, Sergio and Yuval discuss quantum and non-quantum approaches to solving the Travelling Salesperson Problem, benchmarking for TSP, how companies should approach optimization problems, and much more.

Aurelie Helouis, founder and CEO of InfinityQ Technologies, developer of an analog quantum computer, is interviewed by Yuval Boger. Aurelie and Yuval talk about the types of problems that such a computer can solve, a unique application in the world of online gaming, and much more.
