  • 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, Sensing, and the Long Game of Operationalization with Isabella Martinez
Q: What does operationalization mean in practice, and how do you approach workforce development to support it?
She describes assembling interdisciplinary teams, blending physics with chemistry, biology, and even criminology or psychology, to align capabilities with customer workflows and to translate research into viable products.
Quantum Workforce, Sensing, and the Long Game of Operationalization with Isabella Martinez
Q: So start with your personal journey into quantum computing as your profession. How did you get to where you are?
Isabella explains her path from biomedical engineering and entrepreneurship to Booz Allen, emphasizing how her focus shifted from building devices to shaping the workforce and ecosystem needed to operationalize quantum tech.
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.
