When Richard Feynman proposed the idea of a quantum simulator or computer in 1981, he was frustrated by the limitations of classical systems. He logically suggested that if we live in a quantum world, we need a quantum device to simulate all the interactions of particles that make up reality. An excellent example of such a transistor-choking calculation is the quantum many-body problem. Have quantum computers finally cracked it and reached the level of Feynman’s original idea? Can working on such approaches lead to better quantum computers and help solve real business use cases soon? Join Host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a chat with Benedikt Fauseweh from TU Dortmund University and the German Aerospace Center (DLR) as they explore these topics and whether this work has anything to do with The Three-Body Problem novel and Netflix show.

Large language models are … large. Forget Bitcoin and recharging electric vehicles; the grid could be toppled by powering AI in a few years. It would be optimal if AI could run on more underpowered edge devices. What if there was a quantum-inspired way to make LLMs smaller without sacrificing overall performance in combined metrics? We explore a way to do that and other advanced ideas, like selectively removing information from models, in this episode.

The phrase “quantum internet” gets tossed around a lot, usually as a placeholder for something that will fix many nonspecific issues in the future. The core concept of quantum networking is a real thing, though, and is more robust today than you might think. How does it work? How fast is it? And is it really running in the Big Apple? Join Host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a chat with Noel Goddard from Qunnect as they explore all this and potential business use cases.

Is post-quantum cryptography safe from quantum computing? Do we really need thousands of qubits to attack RSA? We examine some of the challenges to PQC strength and timeline that have recently emerged in scientific papers and consider what makes peer review such a crucial part of the process. Join Host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a chat about the actual state of PQC and how it will affect your organization.

While we await practical business advantage with quantum computing, another important question arises: Has quantum information science already furthered our understanding of science? What’s the difference between a simulator and an emulator, and how does a physical quantum computer fit in? Join Host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a chat with Lincoln Carr from Colorado School of Mines as they explore these topics, along with everything from tensor networks, to thermodynamics, to complexity, with an eye to how the hardware timeline will make practical power a reality.

In 1981, Richard Feynman gave a keynote that proposed simulating physics with computers. We’ve come a long way with the resulting quantum computers, and you may have heard about business use cases for them. But how much progress has been made in using the machines to understand the universe? Who better to ask than Dr. Harry Cliff from the Large Hadron Collider? He discusses how quantum computers can simulate particle interactions or handle the mind-boggling amounts of data generated at CERN. We also dive into his new book, Space Oddities. Join Host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a chat with Harry Cliff from Cambridge and the LHCb experiment.

Space Oddities is available beginning March 26, 2024, wherever books are sold.

Quantum computing needs error-corrected, logical qubits to exit the noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) era and bring real advantage to practical business and other use cases. A recent experiment at Harvard succeeded at creating 48 logical qubits on a neutral atom platform, and the techniques will be implemented in production systems in the future. We may have 100 logical qubits by 2026! Join Host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a chat with Alex Keesling from QuEra about this vastly accelerated timeline and what this means for the industry. And find out how soon you can start using logical qubits in the cloud.

We’ve all tried to imagine what goes on at the quantum level, but have you ever taken a photo of interference or grabbed a snapshot of quantum tunneling? Find out how to access quantum physics as a service and experiment with Bose-Einstein Condensates, or BECs.
