Quantum Computing Now

Happy World Quantum Day! A recap

Happy World Quantum Day!! As I looked on the front page of google I remind myself that I host a quantum computing podcast. Hope this is better than going down the Wikipedia rabbit hole, though that is worth reading through as well. :) Stay tuned for the next episode with hardware physicists next and please listen to older episodes to get caught up to speed if interested!

PQC & Math Culture with Krystal A. Maughan [UVM], [RQS - QSim]

Before you listen! Helpful Acronyms to deal with the jargon: - PQC = Post Quantum Cryptography, area within quantum computing & cryptography where researchers are developing quantum-safe protocols resilient against quantum cryptography attacks. - LDPC Codes = Low Density Parity Check, a type of error correction method - Block Encoding = a technique used in quantum computing (see youtube link below!)In this episode: Quantum Simulation program, Cryptography, & passionate community!A conversation with the brilliant Krystal Maughan, PhD researcher at the University of Vermont doing innovative work on her research area of Post-Quantum Cryptography while we were attending the 3-day QSim RQS Summer School 2025! We talk on a range of topics observed in the quantum industry & research field and she provides a mathematician's perspective at Madison Square Park on a beautiful summer day right before her flight. Enjoy this refreshing & insightful discussion!

"Choose Your Own Adventure" with Amir Karamlou (Google QuantumAI)

Happy *belated World Quantum Day (Week/Month/Year). This episode is about the journey that one can take in navigating and getting started in the quantum technology space. This was recorded live at the NYU Abhu Dhabi International Hackathon for Social Good.This episode I talk to Google QuantumAI's esteemed research scientist who was part of the Willow team - Amir Karamlou. We'll hear about Amir's journey and how hackathons can change the future of the quantum space. Links: Hackathon for Social Good, NYU Abhu Dhabi - https://hackathon.nyuad.nyu.edu

For the Love of Quantum

The return of the QCN podcast!! This episode was meant to release on February 14th! Ethan's mic (quite literally) has been passed on to me, Shway, and I'll be the new host. I hope I do nearly as great of a job communicating the journey of learning quantum computing as he did...Thank you my friend.(Also congratulations to Ethan & his fiancée!!!!!) ---I procrastinated on posting this. Expect more episodes on quantum computing technologies, with hopefully less procrastination. And as always, stay curious!
