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!
Listening to this podcast helps me stay up to date on the newest developments in quantum computing. I’ve learned so much over the last few years of being a regular listener. I also really enjoy the podcast host, Sebastian.
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.
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.
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

The show centers on the practical and theoretical frontiers of quantum computing, with hosts and guests unpacking hardware advances, algorithms, and real-world applications. Episodes frequently feature university researchers, startup founders, venture investors, and industry leaders discussing topics like quantum error correction, quantum hardware diversity, regional ecosystem development, and pathways to scalable quantum systems. A notable strength is its ability to translate complex concepts into accessible narratives through guest stories and practical implications, offering listeners a clear view of where quantum tech is heading and how institutions, companies, and policy initiatives interact to accelerate progress.
