About this episode

This episode features insights from four quantum researchers discussing the collaboration needed for fault-tolerant quantum computing.

Quantum computing involves collaboration and interdisciplinarity, the meeting of minds from different perspectives to solve problems where their expertise overlaps. This episode does a version of that with audio, bringing together insider insights from four quantum researchers across industry, academia and the national labs. They discuss research areas including fundamental quantum mechanics, algorithms and calibration and the human and network connections that will be needed to build utility-scale quantum computers. All four guests are alumni of the Department of Energy Computational Science Graduate Fellowship program, which supports this podcast. You'll meet: Jacob Bringewatt : Assistant Professor of Physics at the U.S. Naval Academy Grace Johnson : Senior Product Manager, NVIDIA Alicia Magann : Senior Member of Technical Staff, Sandia National Laboratories Dylan Sim : Senior Quantum Applications Architect, PsiQuantum
