  • Great content and guests, host is giving intolerable know-it-all

    Shut up and let the guests speak, ffs. Nearly every time you try and demonstrate your intellectual quantum prowess you’re wrong and then the guest wastes time correcting you and never actually get to speak about their topic. You’re a self described “technologist” so pleaaaaaase for all that is good in the world, let the experts speak!

  • 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.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Quantum Workforce Intelligence from qubitsok.com with Piotr Lewandowski
Q: What is Quby and how would it change the hiring process in quantum tech?
Quby analyzes roles by matching them to researchers' published work and claims across papers, builds multi-source profiles, and can dispatch agents to extract and verify claims, effectively turning the research record into a hiring signal.
Quantum Workforce Intelligence from qubitsok.com with Piotr Lewandowski
Q: Can you describe how the ontology and tagging work and why you chose a tree-like structure for the tags?
There are 500 tags forming a tree with parent-child relationships; this enables precise, context-aware AI tagging so that papers can be categorized by specific modalities and hardware, improving search relevance and reducing noise.
Quantum Workforce Intelligence from qubitsok.com with Piotr Lewandowski
Q: Start with, what was your original inspiration for building cubitsok.com? Where did you start with it and how did you go about building what you've done so far?
The idea began as a quantum jobs board driven by the need for better, categorized opportunities in quantum computing, then expanded to a continuous workflow of parsing papers, tagging with a comprehensive ontology, and eventually enabling a collaboration/search layer for researchers and institutions.
Silicon Spin Qubits and the IBM–HRL Acquisition with Thaddeus D. Ladd
Q: What do you think IBM gains beyond a single qubit modality, and how does HRL's portfolio fit into the broader IBM ecosystem?
IBM gains a holistic systems integration capability, combining silicon spin qubits with HRL's networking, cryogenics, packaging, and material sensing, which could feed into a scalable, cross-modality quantum infrastructure at Anderon and beyond. HRL's experience with cryo-CMOS control and high-density interconnects complements IBM's superconducting efforts, potentially accelerating cross-modality advances.
Silicon Spin Qubits and the IBM–HRL Acquisition with Thaddeus D. Ladd
Q: I would just love to hear from you at least impressions or what does that mean, that IBM is buying HRL?
It means we now have a realistic, commercially oriented path for spin-qubit technology, with HRL's integrated stack and the opportunity to scale through IBM's Anderon fabrication initiative, extending beyond just qubits to sensing, cryogenics, and packaging. The acquisition provides a platform to accelerate commercialization and leverage cross-disciplinary capabilities across the company.
