The daily quantum computing briefing you don't need a physics degree to follow. Every day, Quickly Quantum cuts through the hype to bring you the breakthroughs, funding rounds, policy moves, and research that actually matter, with plain-English analysis a smart non-physicist can follow. Hosted by Brian Lampert. AI-voiced, human-built, always skeptical of press releases. Nothing on this show is financial advice. Also from Brian Lampert: Concrete Compute and Space Stakes.

    Quantum's 100,000x Gap to Real Science — September 15, 2026

    A new cross-vendor benchmark called QUOPS gives quantum computing its first apples-to-apples yardstick for progress — and finds current machines need roughly a hundred-thousand-fold performance jump to reach useful scientific work. Plus: NVIDIA's CUDA-Q Logical platform expansion, IonQ's haul at IEEE Quantum Week, and a proposed $500M Canadian chip fab.

    Uncle Sam as Shareholder: Smart Bet or Bubble Backstop? — September 13, 2026

    A Sunday think piece: Washington has quietly become a shareholder in nine quantum computing companies through CHIPS Act equity deals. We dig into Rigetti's SEC filing, the Intel precedent, and the fight between the 'entrepreneurial state' case for taxpayer equity and free-market warnings about politicized investment.

    An Open Leaderboard Just Undercut Google's Bitcoin-Cracking Math — September 11, 2026

    An open, crowdsourced contest of humans and AI agents claims it cut the estimated quantum cost of a key Bitcoin-cracking step by 86%, undercutting a Google benchmark — but the paper's own authors warn the comparison isn't apples-to-apples. Plus: Novo Holdings says quantum investors are overweight hardware, and Chalmers researchers find a 1,000x speedup for bosonic qubit operations.
