We are delighted to have a two guests today to give us a field report from the latest instance of the Quantum Information Processing conference (QIP) held at Tu-Delft in the Netherlands. Joschka Roffe is a Ph.D student at Durham university in the U.K. and Padraic Calpin is a Ph.D student at the centre for doctoral training in delivering quantum technologies at University college, London. We chat about their research, the topics discussed at #QIP2018 and how quantum technology is developing as a research field and an industry.

In this episode we speak to Guillaume Verdon of the University of Waterloo and the Perimeter institute to discuss his research into quantum machine learning and get a field report from the recent ThinkQ conference hosted by IBM in New York state. We discuss quantum algorithms and the current research effort to find interesting and or practical applications for quantum computing that are small enough to not require resource intensive error correction protocols
