Quantum Open Source with Will Zeng and Ziyaad Bhorat
Quantum computing is drawing billions in investment, but the open source software layer that could make it all work is falling through the cracks. Who fills that gap —...
Simulating Quantum Materials with Arnab Banerjee
Can a quantum computer reproduce what happens when you fire neutrons at a magnetic crystal? Arnab Banerjee, the experimentalist who discovered the first signatures of ...
Quantum Advantage Achieved with Dominik Hangleiter
Has quantum advantage actually been achieved — or is the field still arguing over its own milestones? Dominik Hangleiter, one of the leading theorists working on quant...
Scaling Quantum Hardware Like Semiconductors with Matthijs Rijlaarsdam
The quantum computing industry has been stuck at roughly 100 qubits for years — not because of physics, but because of wiring. Matthijs Rijlaarsdam, co-founder and CEO...
Engineering the Quantum Future with Brian Gaucher
Ever wonder why quantum computing still feels like a "cool science experiment" instead of a deployable technology? After two decades building wireless standards and qu...
