The Superposition Guy's Podcast

Peter Chapman, CEO of IonQ, is interviewed by Yuval Boger. Peter and Yuval discuss IonQ’s plans to scale their computers and deliver business value, the best application-development partners for quantum customers, IonQ’s new quantum manufacturing facility, his hiring philosophy, and much more.

Michael Biercuk, CEO and founder of Q-Ctrl, a company that makes infrastructure software towards making quantum technology useful, is interviewed by Yuval Boger. Michael and Yuval talk about quantum control, a discipline that helps stabilize unstable systems, its application to quantum computers and quantum sensors, Q-Ctrl’s educational software, and much more.

Andrew Dzurak, founder and CEO of Diraq, a company developing silicon-based quantum computers built with existing chip fabrication technology, is interviewed by Yuval Boger. Andrew and Yuval talk about the merits of their technology, the reason many companies have taken alternative approaches, when silicon dot computers will be available, a hypothetical dinner with Paul Dirac, and much more.

Jean-Francois Bobier, Partner and Director at the Boston Consulting Group, is interviewed by Yuval Boger. Jean-Francois and Yuval talk about a wide range of subjects, including HPC integration, venture capital investment advice, enterprise projects in quantum computing and quantum security, and much more.

Three experts in quantum Monte Carlo: Quantum Monte Carlo with Gustavo Ordoñez of Moody's Analytics, Giorgios Korpas of HSBC, and Iordanis Kerenidis of QCWare, are interviewed by Yuval Boger. They talk about what quantum Monte Carlo is, the difference from classical Monte Carlo, how soon before it becomes a production-ready algorithm, and much more. 

Aharon Brodutch and Ilia Khait, co-founders of Entangled Networks, a company building an optical interconnect between QPUs are interviewed by Yuval Boger. Aharon, Ilia and Yuval talk about the efforts required to scale up quantum processors, their optimizing compiler, building a distributed quantum computer, and much more.

Shai Machnes, CEO of Qruise, a company developing a machine-learning physicist, which is software that can automate the work of physicists building quantum computers, is interviewed by Yuval Boger. Shai and Yuval talk about the genesis of his company, the repetitive tasks that their software can automate, how smart the software can become, and much more.

Wil Oxford, founder and CEO of Anametric, a company developing new technologies for chip-scale quantum photonics, is interviewed by Yuval Boger. Wil and Yuval spoke about Anametric's initial cybersecurity focus, why QKD is not a popular word in Washington DC, why the US Air Force is interested in Anametric's products and much more.

Noel Goddard, CEO of Qunnect, a hardware company working to transform standard telecom networks into quantum secure communication networks is interviewed by Yuval Boger. Noel and Yuval spoke about 1st and 2nd-generation quantum secure networks, what one would need to do to create a secure link between Chicago and New York, the intersection of physics and telecom network engineering, and much more.

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.
