Welcome to another deep dive into the world of quantum computing! In this episode, Dave sits down with Yuval Boger, Chief Commercial Officer of QuEra Computing, to explore quantum technology's fundamentals, breakthroughs, and real-world applications.

Yuval demystifies the core principles of quantum computers—how qubits exist in multiple states simultaneously, unlocking computational advantages that classical computers simply can’t match. He explains the different approaches to quantum computing, with a focus on Quera’s cutting-edge use of neutral atoms and laser tweezers to manipulate rubidium atoms for advanced computations.

The conversation delves into how quantum computing is set to revolutionise industries, tackling complex optimisation problems, simulations, and machine learning tasks that were previously impossible to solve. Yuval also shares insights into practical applications in financial services, energy optimisation, and beyond—where quantum’s power is already making an impact.

And it doesn’t stop there. We explore scalability, energy efficiency, and the future potential of quantum systems. Plus, Yuval discusses Quera’s cloud-based access, collaboration projects, and how organisations can integrate quantum computing into their own infrastructure.

Finally, we reflect on the evolution of quantum computing—from a theoretical concept to a game-changing strategic technology.

So, if you’re curious about where quantum is headed and what it means for the future of computing, this is an episode you won’t want to miss!
