  • Mmm, yeah, right, awesome, cool, yeah, right, wow, that’s interesting, mmm, yeah, right…

    I have to second lamgodlygoo,’s Oct 31 review. Your podcast is great, your interrupting chatter is annoying. Ask a question. Let the guest answer. It’s not quantum science.

  • Stop making noises

    When someone is talking, it is disruptive to the listening experience to hear the most say “mhm. Yeah. Right.” Be completely silent while the guest is talking.

  • Not important

    The world is basically on fire metaphorically and actually, and we have these intellectuals in there ivory towers burning up all the resources to do what exactly? Design more enslaving technology? Bigger bombs? Or just more addictive video games to keep everyone isolated inside their own little ivory towers. When we look back on this time, it will be remembered for how corrupt these “intellectuals” were. Yeah keep working on software we don’t need, don’t want, and is harmful to society as our wo... more

  • Awesome guests, production quality needs improvements

    The lineup of guests is great, but the production quality appears relatively subpar. It is sometimes frustrating that the volume of intro/host/guests goes all over the place in a single episode and is hard to listen to in moderately noisy environments. I hope the producer can pay more attention to these kinds of details which a professional podcast should.

  • Really great series

    I’m a newbie to this but have some dim and distant memories of this subject from school and uni. It really is a fascinating subject and I found this series both insightful and helpful, and I am now starting my own journey to learn more about this subject. Thanks Sebastian and Kevin!! Keep up the great work.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Quantum Engineering with David Reilly and Tom Ohki
Q: Is there a broader impact you see from operating at the quantum limits that could influence non-quantum technologies, like data centers or classical computing more broadly?
The guests discuss cross-pollination between cryogenic technologies and classical computing, including potential applications in data centers and sensing, arguing that cryogenics could enable broader performance and efficiency gains beyond quantum alone.
Quantum Engineering with David Reilly and Tom Ohki
Q: So, David, why don't you start by giving a little bit of background about how you sort of got into the position to found Emergence in the first place.
David describes his academic background, time at Microsoft Station Q, and the motivation to pursue a systems-focused approach to quantum computing, culminating in founding Emergence Quantum with Tom as a way to maintain an R&D core while pursuing targeted subsystems and collaborations.
Building a Quantum Ecosystem from Scratch with Martin Laforest
Q: What's the thing that people still don't really get about the emerging quantum information technology world?
Martin believes many still think quantum computers are just a magic box that will solve all problems and that there's a lack of understanding regarding the broader quantum technologies beyond just quantum computing.
Building a Quantum Ecosystem from Scratch with Martin Laforest
Q: How did you get from point a to point b there?
Martin explains that he made a series of decisions that led him from studying under Raymond Laflamme at the Institute for Quantum Computing to working in industry and now being a partner at a quantum venture capital fund.
Quantum Leadership with Nadya Mason
Q: What's the role of UChicago PME in ecosystem development?
Nadya discusses the University of Chicago's commitment to building partnerships and a regional quantum ecosystem through investments and collaborations with various institutions and state support.
