    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…

    While we await practical business advantage with quantum computing, 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…

    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…

    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…

    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…

    August in Vegas brings intense (but dry) heat and the annual Summer Hacker Camp of events. Arguably, the most fun and intriguing of the bunch is DEF CON (August 8-11, 2024), the world’s leading hacking conference, 32 years strong. The show features the third year of the Quantum Village. And for the second year in a row, host Konstantinos Karagiannis will be speaking. Join him for a chat with Mark…

    What better way to celebrate four years and 100 episodes of The Post-Quantum World than to talk about an achievement we’ve all been waiting for? If you’ve been watching quantum news feeds you might have heard of the D-Wave supremacy paper published in Science. Using an Advantage 2 system, D-Wave has performed a useful task for materials science faster and with less power consumption than a…

    You could summarise 2024 in two quantum computing topics: the release of the NIST PQC standards and the arrival of logical qubits. We dig into the latter in this episode. Atom Computing recently performed computation on 28 logical qubits with the help of Microsoft’s qubit virtualisation. The future roadmap is optimistic and exciting for those looking for quantum advantage from hardware.

    Since 2018, the United States has had a national strategy for excellence in quantum information science that includes getting the science right, enhancing competitiveness, and enabling people. To achieve that aim, regions across the country have begun ramping up their efforts to become quantum silicon valleys. Find out how Colorado stacks up in advancing the quantum stack, and how recent federal…

    Quantum information science deals with the world of the very small, sure, but imagine 128 acres of land devoted to advancing QIS. Now imagine this mega complex in a major city! The Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park is expected to draw leading companies and researchers to Chicago, and DARPA is already playing a significant role. Find out what this will mean for advancing the industry and…
