Quantum Computing Now episodes
- Amir Naveh and Quantum Volume – Episode 24 [Hybrid]
Amir (VP of R&D at Classiq, a quantum software startup) and I talk about how Quantum Volume is measured and how we in the public should interpret the results that come from it. While the metric does have some flaws, it’s still a good general-purpose single-number way to compare devices.

- IBM, Honeywell, and IonQ are in a running gun battle for “highest quantum volume device”

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.
