My latest Quantum Tech Pod with Carmen Palacios-Berraquero, Founder and CEO of quantum company Nu Quantum, is live! 



Carmen grew up in Spain and received an MSc in Physics from Imperial College London and a PhD from the University of Cambridge. 



Nu Quantum was a spin-out of the University of Cambridge’s Cavendish Laboratory in 2018. They are building the entanglement fabric required to enable large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computers. 



Their approach is to interconnect many smaller cores using a Quantum Networking Unit (QNU) capable of scaling discrete Quantum Processing Units (QPU) to form a larger and more useful quantum computer.



Earlier this year, the U.K. Government awarded Nu Quantum a $2.9 million contract to deliver a first-of-a-kind rack-mounted, scalable quantum data center prototype working with networking supplier Cisco as the prospective end user.



Nu Quantum also recently announced a collaboration with SoftwareQ as part of Project Quarrefour. This initiative will use hardware-software codesign techniques to integrate SoftwareQ’s compiler technology into the real-time firmware of Nu Quantum’s control system. 



Carmen believes in diversity of thought and background and has led several pro-equality and LGBTQIA+ visibility groups, initiatives, and direct actions in STEM and beyond.

My latest Quantum Tech Pod with Jan Goetz, Co-CEO of leading quantum company IQM Quantum Computers is live! 



Jan is a quantum physicist who earned his superconducting quantum circuits doctorate at Technical University of Munich.



His company IQM Quantum Computers was founded in 2018 and is building Finland’s first commercial 54-qubit quantum computer using superconducting transmon qubits working with VTT and an IQM-led consortium.



IQM aims to provide on-premises quantum computers for research labs and industrial clients with a unique application-specific code design approach to maximize hardware efficiency.



We discussed IQM Quantum Computers' product offerings, including the flagship quantum computer "Radiance" for high-performance computing centers and the educational "Spark" model designed for universities and R&D applications. 



Jan called out the challenges in talent recruitment, emphasizing the need for diverse skill sets beyond theoretical and experimental physics, including product management and marketing.



He envisions a gradual development of quantum computing, with increasing commercial viability and broader applications over the next decade.

My latest Quantum Tech Pod with Peter Chapman, President and CEO, of leading quantum computing company, IonQ, is live! 



Peter had an atypical childhood. He grew up near the Johnson Space Center in Houston because his father was an astronaut who used to fly over the house in his trainer jet. In high school, Peter went to study with the well-known cognitive scientist Marvin Minsky at the AI lab at MIT because he wasn’t being challenged enough in school.



He said that IonQ chose ions as qubits because they are all the same and perfectly identical. But he also said they may not be the modality of choice in 50 years – new approaches may emerge.



We discussed the new facility IonQ just opened outside Seattle to provide additional cloud access to clients and more room for their engineering team.



Peter also feels that at some point, we may not be able to put more qubits on a single chip, which might mean a quantum solution that uses multiple chips networked together, kind of the way we do blade servers in supercomputers today.

My latest Quantum Tech Pod with Maud Vinet, Co-founder and CEO of quantum computing company Quobly, is live! 



Dr. Vinet received her Ph.D. in quantum physics from the University of Grenoble Alpes and has authored or co-authored over 300 papers. She owns more than 70 patents related to nanotechnology, and her Google H index is 57, with more than 11,000 citations. Plus - she's a Knight of the French Legion of Honor! She also founded Quobly in November 2022. 



Quobly is based in Grenoble, regarded as France’s “Silicon Valley.” The company was spun out of CEA-Leti and CNRS to develop and commercialize a universal large-scale quantum computer using proven semiconductor industry processes. In simple terms, they are turning transistors into quality quantum bits.



Maud and I also discussed the importance of building a diverse and passionate team. She is actively recruiting talent, as well as collaborating with universities to train a workforce for quantum computing.

My latest Quantum Tech Pod with Elie Girard, Executive Chairman of quantum company Alice & Bob, is live! 



Elie has over 20 years of leadership experience in various companies, including his most recent role as CEO and director at Atos.



His company, Alice & Bob, focuses on cat qubits, a novel approach that enables them to reduce hardware requirements for building fault-tolerant quantum computers by up to 200 times compared to other current solutions.



Elie shared his perspective on the broad implications of quantum technology across various sectors and processes, including optimization, simulation, AI, machine learning, finance, manufacturing, and logistics.



On the podcast, Elie discussed the technical aspects of different qubit modalities and logical vs. physical qubits and how they interoperate. 



My interview concludes with Elie sharing his vision for quantum computing in the next three to five years, anticipating the solving of complex real-world problems and a growing awareness of quantum's transformative potential.
