                  In a world where quantum computers put the entire fate of encrypted messaging on the line, only one man can stop them… cue action shots and tense music


                  Just kidding of course, Mike Brown works with a whole company that can stop them! Listen to this episode to learn more about the real-world work that’s going on behind the scenes, and less about this awesome summer thriller movie concept I just came up with.

                      Everyone always asks "what is a quantum amplifier" but never "how is a quantum amplifier." Well in this episode I got to ask just that! (or rather, how is an amplifier quantum?) Dr. Olivia Lanes was my incredible guest who taught me a lot about all sorts of hardware surrounding superconducting qubits, although we focused on quantum amplifiers for the most part.

                      About Quantum Computing Now

                      From the publisher's feed

                      From Ethan Hansen - This is a podcast all about quantum computing news, basic concepts, and what people in the field are doing. Quantum computing is serious stuff and we talk about serious science, but I try to not take myself too seriously. With that being said, quantum computing is rad as heck. Oh and here's the obligatory phrase " quantum computing podcast " so search engines pick this up.
