The Superposition Guy's Podcast

Neil Abroug, head of the French Quantum Strategy, is interviewed by Yuval Boger. Neil and Yuval discuss the focus on this national strategy, how it differs from other European programs, how US companies can participate in the ecosystem, his view of workforce development, and much more.

Josh Savory, product launch manager at Quantinuum, is interviewed by Yuval Boger. Josh and Yuval spoke about their recent H2 system launch,GHZ and non-abelian topological states, what the H2 launch means for customers, whether 32 qubits are more useful than 400+ qubits, and much more.

Elham Kashefi, Chief Scientist of the UK National Quantum Computing Center, is interviewed by Yuval Boger. Elham and Yuval discuss the history and future of this national strategy, the new Quantum Solutions Lab, quantum-inspired algorithms, what blind quantum computing is, and much more.

Celia Mertzbacher, Executive Director of the QED-C, is interviewed by Yuval Boger. Celia and Yuval discuss what the QED-C is, whether it is open to non-US companies, how the US quantum program compares with its European counterparts, a frequent question she is asked when visiting high schools, and much more.

Stephanie Simmons, co-founder and chief quantum officer of Photonic, a company that Stephanie describes as the largest quantum computing company that you've never heard of, is interviewed by Yuval Boger. Stephanie and Yuval talk about their plans for fault-tolerance, their telecom photon spin systems, entanglement distribution, and much more.

Himadri Majumdar, CEO and co-founder of Semiqon, and Janne Lehtinen, CSO, are interviewed by Yuval Boger. Himadri, Janne and Yuval talk about Semiqon's silicon spin-qubits technology, their unique way of shortening fab cycle time, the expected specs of their first machine, and much more.

Vishal Chatrath, CEO of QuantrolOx, discusses using machine learning to automate qubit tuning. Topics include rapid decision-making in quantum computing, evolution of control software, optimization of technology for spin and superconducting qubits, and the shift towards full automation in quantum physics.

Scott Genin, Vice President of Materials Discovery at OTI Lumionics, is interviewed by Yuval Boger. Scott and Yuval spoke about using quantum to design new materials for the OLED and display industry, how quantum algorithms can save a lot of time in the process, the path they would hope to take from quantum-inspired to true quantum algorithms, and much more.

Oliver Dial, Quantum CTO at IBM, is interviewed by Yuval Boger. Oliver and Yuval talk about what computer they recommend to each customer, whether the machines get better over time, why customers sometimes choose to lease a quantum computer, scaling to a larger number of qubits, and much more

Yudong Cao, co-founder and CTO of Zapata Computing, is interviewed by Yuval Boger. Yudong and Yuval talk about how quantum computing can be used for generative modeling, the implications of this usage for various industries, classification vs prediction modeling, and much more.
