In Episode 121 of Entangled Things, Patrick and Ciprian are joined by István Szilveszter, software engineer at Equal1. Together, they dive into the evolving world of quantum computing frameworks, the importance of developing industry standards, and the challenges of making quantum more accessible. From lowering barriers to entry to shaping the future of how we build and collaborate in quantum technologies, this conversation explores what it takes to turn bold ideas into practical innovation. 

 István Szilveszter is a Software Engineer at Equal1, specializing in software frameworks and compilers for quantum computers. He began his career in 2014 at the silicon startup Movidius (later acquired by Intel), where he developed software frameworks and compilers for AI engines and became one of the architects of the Intel NPU compiler. In 2024, he joined Equal1 to bring his expertise in high-performance computing and compiler design to the next generation of quantum systems.
