Welcome to Carry the Two, the podcast about how math and statistics impact the world around us from the Institute for Mathematical and Statistical Innovation. In this season of Carry the Two we are going to be examining how math and stats is helping scientists, engineers, and industry develop new and emerging technologies. Our first episode is all about Quantum Computing and Information Science. Hosts Sam Hansen and Sadie Witkowski are joined by Ben Brown, researcher at IBM Quantum, and Yihui Quek, postdoc at MIT and incoming assistant professor at EPFL, Ecole Polytechnic Federal in Lausanne, for a discussion about quantum error correction and mitigation, as well as Dylan Temples, a Lederman Postdoctoral Fellow at Fermi National Accelerator Lab, who works at the intersection of dark matter direct detection and quantum information science.
