    • Anastasia Marchenkova - Episode 13 [Interview]

      I had the opportunity to sit down (virtually) with Anastasia Marchenkova, a QC researcher/programmer/does-everything-extraordinaire at Bleximo to talk about how quantum computing has progressed, where it's going, and how it can be leveraged in the short term with NISQ devices

                • All the Frameworks - Episode 7 [Basics]
                  From Qiskit to QuTiP, from Cirq to Ocean SDK, there are a lot of different frameworks to start with quantum computing out there. Which one you should start with can get confusing. In this episode I hope to break down and give an overview of the major players that you’ll hear about in the quantum community.

                    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.
