Quantum Workforce Intelligence from qubitsok.com with Piotr Lewandowski
Who is actually doing quantum computing research, where are they, and what does the industry really need — not according to press releases, but according to the data? ...
Quantum Risk, Readiness, and the Enterprise Boardroom with Richard Entrup
Most quantum computing conversations start in the lab. Richard Entrup's start in the boardroom. As Managing Director of Emerging Solutions at KPMG US, he's the person ...
Silicon Spin Qubits and the IBM–HRL Acquisition with Thaddeus D. Ladd
IBM's pending acquisition of HRL Laboratories is the biggest structural move in quantum hardware in years — but the announcement names sensing, networking, cryogenics,...
Quantum in the Big Four with Aaron Kemp
What does it mean when a Big Four professional services firm becomes a named co-author on a peer-reviewed quantum machine learning paper? Aaron Kemp, KPMG's Senior Dir...
Investing in the Quantum Frontier and the Road to Fault Tolerance with Barak Bussel
What does it take to invest in a quantum hardware company that has deliberately chosen not to pursue an intermediate product? Sebastian is joined by Barak Bussel – phy...
Building the U.S. Quantum Supply Chain with Kate Timmerman
Days after the CQE-led Bloch Quantum Tech Hub secured $55 million from the U.S. Economic Development Administration to build a domestic quantum supply chain, Kate Timm...
The Open Source Substrate for Quantum with Ben Castanon
What does it take to build durable open-source infrastructure for a field that hasn't yet delivered on its biggest promises? Ben Castanon, the first-ever CEO of Unitar...
Quantum Cameras and Sub-Diffraction Imaging with Johannes Galatsanos
What if a camera could skip the JPEG entirely and process photons at the speed of light, extracting information that conventional optics leave on the table? Diffraqtio...
Episode 100: Live at Barnes & Thornburg — Reflections on the First 100 Episodes
For the 100th episode of The New Quantum Era, the microphone turns around. Bob Karr — partner at Barnes & Thornburg, co-chair of the firm's Quantum Technology Industry...
Quantum EDA for Ion Trap Design with Daniel Faircloth
What if the bottleneck in scaling trapped-ion quantum computers isn't the qubits or the lasers, but the design software underneath them? Daniel Faircloth, PhD, co-foun...
Electrons on Superfluid Helium with Nick Farina
What if the path to a million-qubit processor doesn't run through silicon defects or massive wire bundles, but through single electrons floating a few nanometers above...
Quantum Drug Discovery and the Path to Advantage with Sabrina Maniscalco
What does it actually take to run a quantum-classical workflow on a real cancer drug — not hydrogen, not a toy molecule, but a photosensitizer already in Phase II clin...
Funding the Quantum Middle: Series A/B Capital with Kris Naudts and Zeynep Koruturk of Firgun Ventures
Quantum computing has plenty of seed-stage capital and a handful of growth-stage giants — but the Series A and B rounds in between are where promising companies stall....
Quantum Book Launch with Yuval Boger
Yuval Boger — Chief Commercial Officer of QuEra Computing and one of quantum's most prolific podcasters — joins Sebastian for a crossover episode that doubles as a wor...
Fault Tolerance for Quantum Inputs and Outputs with Matthias Christandl
What happens to fault tolerance when a quantum computer's job is not to spit out a classical answer, but to produce a quantum state that gets sent somewhere else — to ...
Philosophy of Physics Meets Quantum Engineering with Elise Crull
What does philosophy of science actually *do* for quantum technology at the moment quantum mechanics is being asked to deliver? Elise Crull — historian, philosopher of...
The Quantum Control Stack with Niels Bultink
Every quantum computer — superconducting, spin, trapped ion, or neutral atom — depends on a layer most people never see: the precisely timed electronics that play qubi...
Hardware-Faithful Digital Twins for Quantum Computing with Izhar Medalsy
Quantum hardware iteration is gated by the simple fact that real QPUs are expensive, scarce, and noisy in ways that generic simulators don't capture. In this episode, ...
