    Shima, Will, Marcin and Vehicle Production Planning - Episode 12

    Recently, Zapata AI, BMW, and MIT's Center for Quantum Engineering collaborated to solve a complex problem: how can you most efficiently schedule vehicle production? This problem needs to take into account many many variables, so how did the team optimize the process? With AI of course! Listen to this episode to find out more about how exactly they did and what results they found.

    Bob Sorensen and Quantum Computing's Tie to HPC - Episode 10

    Quantum computing is an incredibly complex industry, how can someone possibly attempt to understand where the current state is and where it’s heading? Using data! That’s exactly what Bob Sorensen does as Chief Analyst for Quantum Computing at Hyperion Research. In his analysis he views quantum computing through the lens of high performance computing, drawing parallels and illuminating differences. The survey of 415 decision makers Bob mentioned: https://www.dwavesys.com/media/an1helvq/hyperion_report_v2.pdf Hyperion’s research predicting the growth of the quantum computing industry: https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/new-study-estimates-more-than-20-percent-annual-growth-of-global-quantum-computing-marketplace-through-2024-301475790.html Zapata’s own enterprise decision maker survey: https://www.zapatacomputing.com/enterprise-survey/ HPC Wire’s piece on Nvidia, HPC, and quantum with Tim Hirzel: https://www.hpcwire.com/2022/07/28/zapatas-orquestra-targets-the-hybrid-quantum-classical-challenge/ Intro/Outro music: Oblivious by Nihilore (https://www.nihilore.com/synthwave) Nihilore license: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/zapatacomputing Follow us on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/zapata-computing The Quantum Pod is produced by Zapata Computing Host: Ethan Hansen Guest: Bob Sorensen Editing and commentary: Ethan Hansen Special thanks to: Mick Emmett, Katherine Londergan, and Liz St. Pierre

    Andy Walter and Waiting Is Not An Action - Episode 9

    When it comes to major disruptive technologies like AI, data analytics, and quantum computing, many companies are playing to not lose. That’s fine, but if like us at Zapata you want to play to win, you have to realize that waiting is not an action. Andy Walter knows that with his extensive experience in corporate IT evolution and digital transformation from the last 3 decades. Now he has a book by the same title – Waiting Is Not An Action. If playing to win sounds more appealing than playing to not lose, this is the episode for you.

    Luis Serrano, Brian Dellabetta, and what Quantum Can Bring to Machine Learning - Episode 3

    Many of our employees, customers, and users have come from machine learning and Brain and Luis are no exceptions! Hear from them about having 1 foot in machine learning and one foot in quantum, pushing what’s possible with quantum boosts to classical algorithms, and why enterprises should care now. This episode should be especially interesting to those who are more on the technical side: ML practitioners (and those who work with them) who can use quantum today and in the future to take their impact to the next level.
