Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Oliver Dial of IBM: Quantum Advantage Is Happening This Year
Q: What are the main challenges in achieving scalable quantum computing, especially regarding error correction?
Dial details the overhead of error correction, the shift from traditional surface codes to more efficient low-density parity-check codes, and the co-design of hardware and codes to enable practical logical qubits within foreseeable timeframes.
Oliver Dial of IBM: Quantum Advantage Is Happening This Year
Q: First, can you introduce yourself and explain your background and how you came to IBM Quantum?
Oliver Dial describes himself as a condensed matter physicist who moved from quantum dots research to quantum computing hardware, ultimately taking a leadership role as VP of Quantum Systems at IBM, driven by the desire to build integrated quantum hardware and software.
#341 Celia Merzbacher: Beyond the Buzzword: The Real State of Quantum Computing, Sensing, and AI in 2025
Q: Why would a company invest in on-premise quantum computers versus cloud access?
On-premise deployments may be chosen for security and control by large institutions or governments, but overall, cloud access dominates as the market grows and hardware rapidly evolves, with on-premises emerging as a slower-growing but strategically important option for some firms.
#341 Celia Merzbacher: Beyond the Buzzword: The Real State of Quantum Computing, Sensing, and AI in 2025
Q: What is the role of QEDC in the quantum ecosystem and how does it interact with government?
QEDC acts as a voice for the community, educating policymakers, organizing policy-focused events, and enabling collaboration between industry and government to de-risk and accelerate quantum development.
#340 Steffen Cruz: Training AI Without Data Centres
Q: What is the link between the chain and the compute in Iceland, in terms of how compute is orchestrated and paid for?
The link is that the blockchain acts as an authorization and payout layer, while the actual compute resides off-chain on distributed hardware (e.g., in Iceland) and is orchestrated through a Kubernetes-like deployment that ensures secure communication and fair compensation for work performed.
