Today we're interviewing Jorge Barreto, director of the Quantum Engineering Centre for Doctoral Training and senior lecturer at the Quantum Engineering Technology Labs in Bristol.
Today’s guest is John Rarity, Professor of Optical Communication Systems at the University of Bristol, and Fellow of the Royal Society. John was one of the early pioneers for experimental quantum information science in the 1980s, performing some of the original experiments with single photons. He has remained a leading figure in the field to this day, overseeing many quantum technologies projects such as the city-wide quantum network in Bristol. In this episode, we talk with John about how he became a scientist, aspects of his research, and he ends by giving some advice to young scientists aiming to enter a career developing quantum technologies.
In this episode of Entangled with... we speak with Dr. Tiff brydges, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Geneva working on quantum communication. We discuss her experience working on a photonic cluster state during her master's degree at the University of Oxford and her research transition to trapped ion systems at Innsbruck University. We discuss how a trapped ion quantum system works, what makes it such a good platform for quantum simulations and why entanglement is an essential resource and how it can be quantified. We finish with some advice for anyone interested in entering the world of research and some advice for current PhD students.
In this episode we speak with Mattia Fiorentini, Head of Machine Learning and Quantum Algorithms at Cambridge Quantum Computing. We will introduce quantum machine learning, discuss why it is exciting and where it is predicted that we will see the most advantage. We will also discuss working in a commercial environment and finish with some advice for anyone keen to get into this field. We hope you enjoy !
In this episode of Entangled with... we interview Rebecca Krauthamer, the co-founder and CEO of Quantum Thought, as well as founder and CPO of QuSecure. These are two quantum start ups in Silicon Valley, and we had the pleasure of speaking with Rebecca about what it's like to start a company and work in the quantum technology industry, as well as which applications of quantum computing she is most excited about and potential ethical considerations to bear in mind as the technology progresses.
In this episode of Entangled with... we speak with Professor Norbert Lütkenhaus, a professor at the Institute for Quantum Computing and the Physics department of the University of Waterloo, as well as the head of the Optical Quantum Communication Theory Group. We discuss quantum cryptography and various protocols for quantum key distribution, as well as both the theoretical and practical challenges associated with QKD, and he shares his outlook on the future of commercializing and incorporating this technology into our current communication infrastructure.
Introducing a new quantum technology podcast, brought to you by Cohort 7 of the Quantum Engineering Centre for Doctoral Training at the University of Bristol. As first year PhD students, we aim to bring the world of quantum research to you from many different perspectives through interviews with leading experts in the field. Listen to our trailer to hear what's in store!
